Are you curious about microdermabrasion? This facial method offers many benefits and is suitable for just about all skin types.

But it’s important to know how microdermabrasion works and how it will help you. Here’s everything you should know about microdermabrasion treatments.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses a carefully abrasive process to gently buff away the top layer of skin (stratum corneum) and remove dead skin cells. It improves your skin tone and texture. People choose dermabrasion for different reasons, but generally, it’s used to enhance the look of your skin, tackling issues such as sun damage, ageing, acne scarring, and other skin concerns.

How Does a Microdermabrasion Treatment Work?

Microdermabrasion is a painless, non-invasive, skin-rejuvenation procedure using a combination of a fine abrasive tip or crystals and vacuum suction applied to the skin. Microdermabrasion treatments are one of the most gentle, fastest, and non-invasive cosmetic skin treatments around today. It works by mechanically exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin feeling softer and looking younger and more vibrant. There are no needles or anesthetics required for a microdermabrasion procedure.

Vacuum pressure and speed can be adjusted depending on the sensitivity and tolerance of your skin. There is minimal to no recovery time, and most people immediately return to daily activity after a microdermabrasion treatment.

What Does Microdermabrasion Treat?

Because microdermabrasion works by effectively removing the top layer of skin, where most common skin issues exist, it is mostly used for those who want a treatment for:

• Reducing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

• Reducing the appearance of age spots and hyperpigmentation

• Removing blackheads and enlarged pores

• Improved acne scarring

• Treating existing acne flare-ups

• Reducing the appearance of stretch marks

• Getting rid of uneven skin texture and improving uneven skin tone

• Melasma (patches of discoloration)

• Sun damage

What to expect during your session?

It is a very gentle treatment unlike diamond microdermabrasion which tends to be harsh on the skin and more painful. The micro crystals buff away the top layer of the skin meanwhile the turbo suction removes all debris, leaving the skin extremely smooth, rejuvenated and brighter.

Prior your visit it is recommended to stop the use of retinol at least 3 weeks, salicylic acid 2 weeks and no exfoliation for 1 week. No shaving in the last 24 hours.
