Reduces Hyperpigmentation: Microdermabrasion can contribute to a reduction in hyperpigmentation caused by
acne. By removing the top layer of the skin, it helps fade dark spots and discoloration.
Minimal Downtime: Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure with minimal downtime. Unlike more
aggressive acne treatments, individuals can typically resume their regular activities immediately after the
procedure.
Safe for Various Skin Types: Microdermabrasion is generally safe for various skin types and tones. It is less
likely to cause pigmentation issues, making it suitable for individuals with different skin concerns.
4 Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber: Uses ultrasonic vibrations to exfoliate the skin, remove debris, and unclog pores.
An ultrasonic skin scrubber is a handheld device that uses ultrasonic vibrations to exfoliate the skin and remove
impurities such as oil, dirt, and dead skin cells. When used properly, it can be an effective tool for managing acne
and promoting clearer, healthier skin.

How to use an ultrasonic skin scrubber for anti-acne purposes:
Cleanse Your Skin: Start with freshly cleansed skin to remove any makeup, dirt, or excess oil from the surface.
Steam Your Face (Optional): If possible, steam your face for a few minutes to help open up your pores. This will
make it easier for the ultrasonic scrubber to remove impurities from your skin.

Prepare the Ultrasonic Skin Scrubber: Make sure the ultrasonic skin scrubber is fully charged and ready for
use. Review the manufacturer’s instructions to understand how to operate the device properly.
Apply a Water-Based Gel or Cleanser: Apply a thin layer of water-based gel or cleanser to the area of your face
you plan to treat. This will help the ultrasonic scrubber glide smoothly over your skin and enhance its effectiveness.
Select the Proper Mode: Most ultrasonic skin scrubbers come with different modes or intensity settings. Start
with the lowest setting, especially if you are new to using the device.
Hold the Device Properly: Hold the ultrasonic skin scrubber at a slight angle against your skin, making sure the
metal spatula is in contact with the gel or cleanser.
Gently Glide Over Your Skin: Using gentle, upward strokes, glide the ultrasonic skin scrubber across your skin.
Avoid applying too much pressure, as this can irritate the skin or cause damage.
Focus on Problem Areas: Pay particular attention to areas of your face prone to acne breakouts, such as
the forehead, nose, and chin. Move the device slowly and methodically over these areas to ensure thorough
cleansing.
Rinse Your Face: Once you’ve completed the treatment, rinse your face with lukewarm water to remove any
remaining gel or cleanser residue.
Apply Toner and Moisturizer: Follow up with a gentle toner to rebalance your skin’s pH levels, then apply a
lightweight, oil-free moisturizer to keep your skin hydrated.
Clean and Sanitize the Device: After each use, clean the metal spatula of the ultrasonic skin scrubber with a
gentle antibacterial soap or alcohol wipe to prevent the buildup of bacteria.
