This study investigates the influence of microdermabrasion on the optical properties of the skin. The results show that microdermabrasion increases the directional reflectance of the skin, especially in the infrared range.
Diamond microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetological treatments in the field of mechanical, controlled abrasion of the stratum corneum corneocytes. In this study, the influence of micropeeling on the optical properties of the skin features was investigated. The directional reflectance of the skin was measured before and after the procedure. The study involved 15 women aged 23-26. The tests were performed on the surface of the skin in 15 spots-on the forearms, arms and lower legs. Post-treatment reflectance increased significantly in the wavelength range of 700-2500 nm. In the remaining ranges it also increased, except for the range 480-600 nm, in which it decreased, but insignificantly. It was found that the optical properties of the skin after microdermabrasion changed, the directional reflectance of the skin increased, especially in the infrared range. The main conclusion from the conducted research is that the directional-hemispherical reflectance method can be used to identify female skin features in response of microdermabrasion treatment.
