Frequently Asked Questions

  1. What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.

  1. Who should use the Microderm GLO?

The Microderm GLO is recommended for any individual looking for smoother, softer, and brighter skin. It is an excellent tool for improving the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots, hyperpigmentation, blemishes, pore size, and uneven skin tone and texture.

  1. When can I expect to see results?

It's important to know that everyone's skin is different, so some may see results faster than others. An easy way to see if the system is working for your skin type is to check the filter after your treatment. After a successful treatment, you should see an accumulation of dead skin and debris collected by the filter.

Your skin should feel softer after only a couple uses but smoothing out fine lines, scars, and wrinkles may take more treatments on a consistent schedule. Microdermabrasion is a gradual and safe process. We recommend treatments up to 2 times per week depending on your skin tolerance.

  1. What's the difference between the Microderm GLO, Microderm GLO MINI, and Microderm GLO GEM?

An additional Manual Mode is also featured in which you may perform longer treatments. Battery charging status is displayed on the LED screen. It has three suction levels, which may be adjusted with the Up/Down Arrow Buttons.

  1. How long do the diamond tips last?

Microderm GLO Diamond Tips are designed to last about 3 months with regular use of up to 2 times per week. Warm water should be used to rinse and clean with the provided cleaning brush after treatments.

  1. How do you clean the Microderm GLO diamond tip?

Gently pull off the diamond tip from the Microderm GLO system. Use the provided cleaning brush to remove debris from the diamond tip end, as well as the inside of the tip. Air-dry the diamond tip, insert a new filter, and gently push back into the Microderm GLO system. This should be done after every treatment for cleanliness and to give the tips their best life.

  1. Is it normal to see redness after use?

Light bruising and redness is completely normal after treatments and should subside within 36 hours.

Always start on the lowest setting and stroke no more than 2 times over each area for your first treatment, or until you have determined your ideal treatment setting. 

  1. Can I use the Microderm GLO to treat my entire body or only my face?

Yes, you can use the Microderm GLO to exfoliate your skin on any part of your body (not just your face). We recommend starting on the lowest setting and testing on a small portion of your skin before performing full treatments. 

  1. What if my Microderm GLO doesn't have suction?

Remove the diamond tip or suction tip and ensure that the rubber O-rings are in place. If you notice missing or broken O-rings, replacements are provided with the bag of replacement filters.

Loss of suction may also occur when filters are not installed in the diamond tip during every use (debris will get into the motor).

  1. How often should I replace my filters?

Filters should be replaced after every treatment. 

For the original Microderm GLO, simply pull off the diamond tip, discard the used filter disc at the end of the white cylinder, and replace with a new one. (10mm filter replacements).

For the MINI and GEM systems, remove the tip, discard used filter disc (using tweezers or provided cleaning brush if necessary), and replace with new one. (8mm filter replacements).

  1. How often can you use it?

We recommend using the Microderm GLO up to 2 times per week. If this is your first time, start on the lowest setting (Level 1) and stroke no more than 2 times over each area, with 1 treatment per week. Then, gradually work your way up to 2 treatments per week depending on your skin type and desired results. 

  1. Does it remove blackheads?

The suction tips in the MINI and GEM systems are designed to target blackhead removal, while the diamond tips are designed to exfoliate and gently resurface your skin. Although blackhead removal is not the primary focus of the original Microderm GLO device, many of our customers have also experienced blackhead removal as a result of the suction feature.

  1. Can I use it to treat acne scars?

The Microderm GLO System is designed to gently exfoliate the dead and dull layers of your skin, improving the health and appearance of your skin. The Microderm GLO may smooth out acne scars over several treatments. We have had customers comment on how it has helped fade away their acne scars. It is important to set expectations and understand that everyone's skin is different so results may vary. 

  1. Do I need anything between treatments?

For best results, we recommend the Facial Steamer SPA+ before your treatment for deep cleaning and hydration, and the Peptide Complex Serum after your treatments to naturally boost collagen production.
