Is microdermabrasion allowed around the eyes?

Microdermabrasion is indeed a procedure that is generally not recommended around the delicate eye area primarily because the skin there is considerably thinner and more sensitive than the skin on the rest of the face. This makes it more susceptible to irritation, damage, and potential adverse reactions.

The eye area requires special consideration due to the fragility of the skin and the presence of underlying structures that can be affected by aggressive treatments. Therefore, estheticians typically avoid performing microdermabrasion in this region to prevent any harm or discomfort to clients.

In addition, the techniques and equipment used in microdermabrasion can produce a level of exfoliation that may not be safe for this sensitive area. Thus, most professionals adhere to the guideline that microdermabrasion should not be performed around the eyes.
