SMART™ Microdermabrasion
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) is a common skin concern that can leave behind dark spots or patches after the skin has healed from inflammation, such as acne, eczema, or other skin injuries. These discolorations can be stubborn and difficult to treat with regular skincare routines alone. At Glojas Specialist, our SMART™ Microdermabrasion treatment offers an effective solution for reducing and eventually eliminating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, revealing a smoother, more even-toned complexion.
Post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation (PIH) occurs when the skin produces excess melanin in response to inflammation or injury. This excess melanin can lead to dark spots or patches on the skin, which can vary in color from pink and red to brown and black, depending on your skin tone. PIH is particularly common following acne breakouts, but it can also result from other skin conditions, treatments, or injuries.
PIH can be challenging to treat because it is caused by deep-seated pigment changes in the skin. While some dark spots may fade over time, others can persist for months or even years without proper intervention. Effective treatment requires targeted therapies that can exfoliate the skin, promote cell turnover, and reduce melanin production.
SMART™ Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment that exfoliates the outer layer of the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting the growth of new, healthy skin. This process helps to smooth the skin’s surface, reduce the appearance of fine lines, and most importantly, diminish the visibility of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
During the SMART™ Microdermabrasion procedure, a stream of fine crystals is applied to the skin, gently exfoliating the top layer. This process not only removes dead skin cells but also stimulates collagen production and enhances the skin’s ability to absorb skincare products. By promoting cell turnover, SMART™ Microdermabrasion helps to fade dark spots and even out skin tone over time.
SMART™ Microdermabrasion is particularly effective for treating post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation because it addresses the issue at its source. By exfoliating the top layers of the skin, this treatment helps to remove pigmented cells and encourages the formation of new skin that is free of discoloration. Over a series of treatments, patients can see significant improvement in the appearance of PIH, with a brighter, more uniform complexion.
Non-Invasive and Painless
SMART™ Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that requires no downtime. The procedure is painless, with most patients experiencing only a mild tingling sensation during treatment. This makes it an ideal option for those looking to improve their skin without the need for recovery time.
Immediate and Long-Term Results
Patients often notice an immediate improvement in the texture and radiance of their skin following a SMART™ Microdermabrasion session. With continued treatments, the benefits multiply, leading to a significant reduction in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation and a more even skin tone.
Safe for All Skin Types
SMART™ Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types and tones. Whether you have fair skin or a deeper complexion, this treatment can be customized to address your specific concerns and help you achieve your desired results.
Enhances Skincare Efficacy
By removing the outer layer of dead skin cells, SMART™ Microdermabrasion allows for better absorption of skincare products. This means that any topical treatments or serums you use post-treatment will be more effective, further accelerating the fading of post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation.
The SMART™ Microdermabrasion treatment typically takes about 30 to 45 minutes, making it a convenient option for those with busy schedules. During the procedure, a handheld device is used to apply fine crystals to the skin’s surface, gently exfoliating and polishing it. The treatment is comfortable, with most patients describing the sensation as a mild scrubbing.
After SMART™ Microdermabrasion, your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed, but this usually subsides within a few hours. It’s important to keep your skin hydrated and protected from the sun following the treatment, as your skin will be more sensitive to UV rays. Our specialists will provide you with aftercare instructions to ensure optimal results.
To maintain and enhance the results of SMART™ Microdermabrasion, we recommend a series of treatments spaced a few weeks apart. Consistent use of sunscreen and a tailored skincare regimen will also help to prevent further pigmentation and maintain your clear, even skin tone.

Expected downtime for smart microdermabrasion is minimal, allowing patients to resume their daily routine immediately after treatment. The number of sessions required will depend on individual skin conditions and desired outcomes, spaced apart according to the treatment plan. Gradual improvements in skin condition, such as increased radiance and overall health, can be expected after each session.
The cost of smart microdermabrasion can vary widely, influenced by the practitioner’s expertise and the specific clinic or location. Generally, the price for a session ranges from RM 400 to RM 1,000.
At Glojas Clinic, the cost starts at approximately RM 500 per session. Smart microdermabrasion is highly regarded for its ability to exfoliate dead skin cells and stimulate collagen production using advanced technology. Many patients prefer this treatment for its enhanced precision and effectiveness compared to traditional microdermabrasion. Each treatment session is tailored to address the patient’s unique skin needs and concerns, ensuring optimal results.
How many sessions are needed to see results?
Most patients begin to see noticeable improvements in post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation after 3 to 6 sessions. However, the exact number of sessions needed can vary depending on the severity of the pigmentation and individual skin response.
Is SMART™ Microdermabrasion safe for sensitive skin?
Yes, SMART™ Microdermabrasion is safe for sensitive skin. The treatment intensity can be adjusted to suit your skin type, ensuring a gentle yet effective exfoliation process.

Yes, SMART™ Microdermabrasion can be combined with other treatments such as chemical peels, laser therapy, or topical treatments to enhance results. Your specialist will recommend the best combination of treatments based on your skin’s needs.
Will my post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation return after treatment?
With proper skincare and sun protection, the results of SMART™ Microdermabrasion can be long-lasting. However, new pigmentation can develop if the skin is exposed to further inflammation or UV damage. Maintaining a good skincare routine and regular follow-up treatments can help prevent recurrence.
How does SMART™ Microdermabrasion compare to other treatments for PIH?
SMART™ Microdermabrasion is an excellent option for those looking for a non-invasive, no-downtime treatment for PIH. It is particularly effective when used as part of a comprehensive skincare plan. For more severe cases, combining it with other treatments like chemical peels or laser therapy may be recommended.
