For longer-lasting and more significant changes, microdermabrasion can remove signs of dead skin cells from your face, leaving you renewed and beautiful in your skin.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion works with minimally abrasive instruments to exfoliate the upper layers of skin. As a type of skin rejuvenation, it’s considered an effective, non-surgical way of addressing common skin issues such as large pores, acne scarring, wrinkles, and fine lines. The procedure is similar to dermaplaning, but instead of a flat, knife-like instrument to scrape away dead skin, it uses a crystal or diamond-tipped wand to polish and sand away the dead skin and then suction it away using a wand vacuum.
So, what’s so unique about microdermabrasion? Our newest microdermabrasion treatment is a superior method of removing dead skin cells because of the following benefits:
- Gentle, Enhanced Results: The crystals used in the microdermabrasion device abrade the skin provide a gentle approach to polishing and can be adjusted according to your skin sensitivity and needs.
- Softer, Painless Treatment: The crystal tips don’t cause heat or inflammation on the skin, meaning patients with sensitive skin types and pain levels can experience its benefits without worry.
- No Downtime: Microdermabrasion has no downside, meaning patients can easily head back to their normal activities. In return, patients get brightened, glowing skin that’s fresh and practically brand new.
- Collagen Production: Collagen is an essential protein used to help maintain our skin’s elasticity and youthfulness, and we lose it as we age. Microdermabrasion helps thicken the collagen in your skin, enhancing the effects of your skin’s elasticity and resulting in a younger-looking appearance.
Thanks to its crystal-powered technology, microdermabrasion can provide massive benefits to the skin, including improved tone and texture, softening fine lines and wrinkles, fighting off the effects of sun damage, and lightening signs of hyperpigmentation.
However, microdermabrasion isn’t for everyone, as it isn’t recommended for those with inflammatory acne, cystic acne, severe acne scars, or keloid scars. It also cannot treat deep lines and wrinkles, as it only works to soften the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
The treatment is painless and lasts around 30 minutes, and most patients see visible results after their first treatment. However, more extensive results can be seen within eight sessions, spaced a few weeks apart, to maintain your appearance.
