Microdermabrasion would be a good option for which client condition?

• A. Clients with oily skin
• B. Clients who are wrinkled
• C. Clients with redness
• D. Clients with acne scars

Answer: (B)

Microdermabrasion exfoliates the outermost skin layer, prompting increased cell turnover and a subtle boost in collagen in the superficial layers. This process smooths fine wrinkles and refines skin texture, which makes it particularly suitable for clients with wrinkled, sun-damaged skin. Redness often signals active inflammation or vascular sensitivity, and exfoliating can aggravate those conditions, so this option isn’t ideal for redness. For acne scars, especially deeper ones, the improvement from surface-level exfoliation is limited, since deeper scar tissue often requires more intensive resurfacing. Oily skin may benefit from exfoliation to help clear pores, but the main advantage here—the reduction of fine wrinkles—aligns best with wrinkled skin.
