What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure which exfoliates the top layers of the skin to reveal smoother more even textured skin. It helps improve skin turnover and may also improve the skin’s elasticity and texture by stimulating the production of new collagen.
There are several effective types of microdermabrasion- some use a small hand-piece which delivers micro-crystals and simultaneously vacuums them at the same time while other techniques use positive pressure or vibrating abrasive tips (some even infuse skincare products during the procedure) to polish the skin. Various topical agents for acne, aging and pigment may be used immediately after microdermabrasion to provide additional benefits.
Treatments may be done weekly, monthly or as determined best by your skincare professional. Usually a series of microdermabrasion treatments are optimal. These treatments may typically be used on all skin colors and types to combat the signs of aging, however, this is best determined during a consultation which develops a customized treatment plan for you and your skin care needs, lifestyle and budget.
What to Expect After Treatment
Most treatments leave the skin with a mild pink glow which typically dissipates shortly after the procedure has finished, but can in some cases linger for a few hours.
