Is microdermabrasion safe for skin with rosacea? i have some rosacea on my face ? will microdermabrasion help with this or make it worse?

It may worsen it.: Any abrasive treatments will make rosacea worse. The condition itself involves inflamed tissue and scrubbing it or abrasive treatments will make inflammation worse.

Microdermabrasion : Microdermabrasion must be used cautiously on patients with rosacea since it may aggravate rosacea prone skin.
