What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses tiny crystals to gently exfoliate off the top layer of your skin. It removes dead skin that causes uneven pigmentation, acne and the appearance of scars. It also stimulates the production of collagen and promotes new skin growth. Microdermabrasion is a gentler form of dermabrasion which uses an instrument for deeper exfoliation. Microdermabrasion does not exfoliate as deeply so it is safe for anyone.
How does it work?
A machine sprays tiny crystals at your skin to exfoliate and remove any dead skin cells. At the same time, the machine has a vacuum that immediately removes the dead skin cells and any other impurities from your skin.
Benefits of microdermabrasion
Like a massage for your face, microdermabrasion improves circulation. It also can help make skin products more effective. If you have a problem with large pores, microdermabrasion can help shrink them by removing impurities.
When will I see results?
You will see some results immediately from microdermabrasion and others in the following days. You may notice a smoother texture and lessened lines or wrinkles right away. After the procedure, most people have a red or pink glow that fades quickly. Once your skin heals and starts creating new collagen, you will see tighter more youthful skin. Many people choose to use products or other procedures in hand with microdermabrasion which will, of course, affect your results.
Schedule your consultation
Anyone who wants to improve their skin texture or remove discoloration can benefit from microdermabrasion. Older people can benefit from the stimulation of collagen to reduce wrinkles and plump up their skin. Those younger ones, especially those with acne issues, can benefit from cleansing their pores and removing dead skin that causes breakouts.
