Microdermabrasion
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is the most effective non-invasive skin resurfacing process, uses a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration, sun damage and stretch marks. It is sometimes called a “lunchtime peel”.
What is the benefit of Microdermabrasion?
- Improve age spots and black heads
- Improve hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin)
- Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance
- Lessen the appearance of stretch marks
- Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores
- Treat acne and the scars left by acne
Microdermabrasion helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion. Collagen is protein in your skin that’s abundant when you’re a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.
What does the procedure involve?
We use a specially designed hand-piece that will direct a spray of crystals onto the skin at a high velocity and then immediately be vacuumed away, resulting in the removal of the top layer of the skin. The fresh skin just below the surface is then exposed, creating a glowing new complexion. Patients may return to normal activity immediately, unlike the more invasive chemical peels or laser procedures. It is usually performed on the face and neck, but can be performed on any part of the body such as the backs of the hands, back, legs, etc.
Microdermabrasion Results
Your polished new look should be long-lasting, depending on the severity of your skin damage and the number of treatments that you receive. Results will be noticeable from the first treatment, however a full treatment protocol is 5-8 treatments with one treatment every 10-14 days and maintenance visits every month thereafter.
Is there any downtime?
There is no down time or recovery period following microdermabrasion. After your treatments, your healthcare provider may recommend a special moisturizer or facial product to enhance and prolong your result.
Is there any side effects?
Any discomfort experienced as part of microdermabrasion is usually short-lived. This can include redness and swelling, which should subside within a few hours. Later, you can expect the skin to be flaky and dry for several days.
