What is microdermabrasion and how does it work?
Microdermabrasion is a quick, natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin. It is one of the most requested non-invasive cosmetic procedures. A small handheld wand containing tiny Aluminum Oxide crystals is passed over the face while suction is applied against the skin. This lifts, scrubs, and removes the upper layer of dead skin cells and any trapped oils and blackheads from the skin. Microdermabrasion stimulates collagen production and increases cell turnover, forcing skin to shed dead skin and produce healthy cells.
What does it treat?
Microdermabrasion is good for maintaining healthy
skin and minimizing the appearance of:
- Fine lines
- Pigmentation problems, freckles, or age spots
- Uneven skin tones
- Dull, lifeless and sun-damaged skin
- Acne
What is the usual course of treatment?
Skin is cleansed and the microdermabrasion wand is used over the entire face. Afterwards a hydrating mask is applied, followed by a professional skincare serum containing vitamins and minerals to nourish the skin. The serum is massaged in, allowed to set for five minutes, and followed by cleansing, moisturizing, and UV protection. The entire process takes about 15 to 20 minutes.
What kind of results will I see?
Microdermabrasion will make your skin feel smoother and have a softer texture. Results last around four weeks.
How does the treatment feel?
Microdermabrasion is a comfortable, relaxing procedure. Some patients describe it as the feel of a cat’s tongue against the skin. You may or may not develop a slight pink color to the skin after microdermabrasion, which may last several hours.
Who is suitable for microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is right for all skin types. You can receive customized microdermabrasion treatments to suit your specific skincare needs.
