Microdermabrasion
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a painless and safe skin exfoliation treatment. It uses tiny crystals that are sprayed onto the skin to gently remove the outermost layer. This leads to improved evenness of skin pigmentation and skin texture and stimulates collagen production, leaving the skin looking thicker and tighter.
How do I know if Microdermabrasion is a treatment for me?
Microdermabrasion works on men and women of all skin types and colors. It is a great solution for a wide range of surface skin conditions including
enlarged pores
acneiform eruptions (like black and white heads)
excessive oily skin
mild wrinkles and lines
The treatment should be avoided in areas with open wounds and infection. Clients who have recently received laser skin treatments, chemical peels, or Accutane will have a waiting period before proceeding with microdermabrasion.
What can I expect during my Microdermabrasion treatment?
After the skin is cleansed, a hygienic device that is equipped with a stainless steel hand piece that is moved over the skin surface, sending a gentle stream of crystals that removes the outer skin layer and then vacuums it off. It is a well tolerated and painless procedure. The treatment will last approximately 60 minutes depending on the size of the area being treated. Afterwards, a skin moisturizer will be applied.
What can I expect after my microdermabrasion treatment?
After your treatment, you can immediately resume your normal daily activities. Common side effects of microdermabrasion include mild tenderness, swelling, and redness. These typically go away within a few hours after the treatment. Rarely minor bruising can occur.
Improvement in your skin will be immediate after your treatment and will improve gradually with each consecutive treatment. The initial treatment protocol includes a treatment every two weeks for six sessions. Because skin regenerates approximately every 30 days, microdermabrasion should be repeated monthly to maintain optimum results. It is also often used as a one time treatment as part of other skin rejuvenation therapy protocols.
