How it's done
Microdermabrasion
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a safe, gentle, painless and gradual exfoliation of the skins surface cells that reduces damage caused by age, sun and other environmental factors.
Using vacuum and sometimes positive pressure, the machine and the specially-designed Diamond Tip hand piece is passed over the skin. This gently exfoliates the uppermost layer of the skin, while at the same time the hand piece then removes the dead skin particles using a vacuum technique. The procedure exfoliates the dry, dull skin, while stimulating circulation and collagen production.
Each treatment removes one to two layers of dead skin cells, depending on the condition that is being treated. The depth of treatment is determined by the trained operator and controlled through the speed of the handpiece and the number of passes. Since each treatment is customized, patients can be treated at their own comfort levels.
Is Microdermabrasion Suitable for Me?
Unlike traditional dermabrasion, laser resurfacing or chemical peels, Microdermabrasion is safe for men and women of all skin conditions and colors. The best candidate for Microdermabrasion is one who wishes to improve the appearance of their skin and is willing to take an active role in protecting and maintaining the results. Microdermabrasion improves the overall appearance and tone of your skin; collagen production and circulation are improved; and the skin surface is smoother and healthier.
Customized Treatment Plan
After your initial consultation, a customized plan will be developed for you. Microdermabrasion is a progressive skin treatment. Your success depends on multiple treatment schedules.
Often called the Lunch Time Peel! Each session may take between 20-30mins depending on the areas to be treated. Your skin may be slightly reddened for 20mins to several hours after the treatment but is perfectly safe to apply your make-up and return to normal activities. There is no recovery or? down time? associated with Microdermabrasion.
How Many Treatments Will I Need?
Your personalized regimen will be determined by the skin condition being treated and your desired results. The number of treatments can vary from 4-12, depending on the severity of your skin's condition and treatment goals.
Microdermabrasion treatments should be performed 7-10 days apart. It is vitally important that you adhere to the schedule that is planned in conjunction with you.
After your desired results have been achieved, you will want to have maintenance treatments at least every 1-3months.
How Soon Will You See Results?
Remember, Microdermabrasion is a progressive procedure. You will definitely feel softer, smoother skin and may see subtle improvement after only one visit. You will see likely visible improvement after four treatments. The benefits continue to multiply with each additional treatment as increased circulation is noted within the Dermis and newer, healthier skin cells are seen at the surface.
