What is microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure that removes the top layer of dead skin to reveal a fresh, glowing, radiant, healthier-looking you. It can be done in just one session, and your skin appears smoother, softer, brighter, and more radiant. This treatment scores well because it can address various skin conditions, including fine lines, texture, and small scars, in under an hour with little downtime.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion cloths gently sand the outer layer of your skin with a minimally abrasive instrument. This helps eliminate the thicker, uneven outer layer of skin and exposes a smoother, brighter appearance below. This helps promote the growth of new skin, which may assist in improving mild discolouration and sun damage and could also help stretch marks.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
- Texture: This treatment aims to smoother the skin surface, which is best for those with roughness or even minor acne scars.
- Achieves a Brighter Skin: this is by exfoliating out all dead cells hence restoring your natural skin glow.
- Reduces the Size of Pores: While it does not change your pore size, microdermabrasion can help shrink pores as they get unclogged and refreshed.
- Reduction of fine lines and Wrinkles: Regular sessions will help you age gracefully over time by rejuvenating your skin.
Who is a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is excellent for all skin types and tones. While anyone can benefit from light stimulation, someone with highly reactive skin or currently active breakouts should consider seeing a professional before having it done. It’s ideal for someone looking to do this treatment who has light skin with minor imperfections that won’t go away, like dullness, tiny scars and pigment issues. Try something else if your skin has more advanced issues (think deep wrinkles or acne scars).
What Happens During and After Treatment?
The procedure usually lasts about 15 minutes – because of this, it is often called the “lunchtime facial”. Following the treatment, your skin may be slightly sensitive to touch or tender, usually resolved within hours. You may also observe some redness which will pass within a short period.
Immediately following the first treatment, patients typically experience a lighter and more glowing complexion. However, for best results, we suggest a series of 6-8 treatments performed once weekly over many weeks.
Aftercare Tips
After a microdermabrasion session, sunscreen will make your skin more sensitive to sunlight. In addition, for a week afterwards, you must avoid harsh exfoliants and retinoids so your skin can recover.
How Often Should You Get Microdermabrasion?
The results of one session can last 2-4 weeks, but because we constantly grow hair, people will live on maintenance treatments for the best benefits. Always consult your skincare professional to determine the best schedule for your skin. You can additionally check the Candela laser skin rejuvenation.
