What is Microdermabrasion (Skin Polishing)?
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a special device to gently remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells. The process involves either:
- Crystal Microdermabrasion: A hand-held device sprays fine crystals (usually aluminum oxide or sodium chloride) onto the skin, and then uses suction to remove the crystals along with the dead skin cells.
- Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion: A hand-held device with a diamond-tipped wand gently exfoliates the skin while simultaneously suctioning away the dead skin cells.
This exfoliation process stimulates the production of new skin cells, collagen, and elastin, leading to a smoother, more vibrant complexion. Microdermabrasion can address a variety of skin concerns, including:
- Dull skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven skin texture
- Hyperpigmentation (sunspots, age spots)
- Mild acne and acne scars
- Clogged pores and blackheads
The Process:
- Consultation:
- A thorough consultation is performed to assess your skin type, identify your specific concerns, and determine if microdermabrasion is the right treatment for you.
- The technician will discuss the procedure, expected results, and potential side effects.
- A personalized treatment plan will be created based on your needs.
- Preparation:
- The treatment area is thoroughly cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or debris.
- Eye protection is provided to prevent the crystals or diamond tip from entering the eyes.
- Microdermabrasion Treatment:
- The hand-held device is passed over the skin, gently exfoliating the surface.
- The sensation is often described as a mild scratching or tingling feeling.
- The treatment usually takes about 30-60 minutes, depending on the size of the treatment area.
- Post-Treatment:
- A soothing moisturizer and sunscreen are applied to the skin.
- You will receive detailed aftercare instructions.
