  • What is Microdermabrasion?

    Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment designed to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing a fresher, smoother, and more radiant complexion. It uses a device with a fine abrasive surface or a stream of microcrystals to buff away the top layer of skin. It’s commonly used to improve skin tone, texture, and the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage. Microdermabrasion involves gently sanding away the thick outer layer of the skin using a special applicator with an abrasive surface. This helps to rejuvenate the skin.

    Another microdermabrasion technique sprays fine particles of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate with suction to accomplish the same outcome as using the abrasive surface.

  • How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

    Microdermabrasion uses a specialized device to exfoliate the outermost layer of skin. There are two common types of microdermabrasion:

    Crystal Microdermabrasion: A machine sprays tiny crystals (usually aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate) onto the skin, which are then vacuumed away along with the dead skin cells.

    Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion: A diamond-tipped wand gently abrades the skin's surface while suction removes dead skin cells.

    Both methods exfoliate the skin and stimulate circulation, encouraging the skin to renew itself and produce more collagen, leading to a brighter and smoother complexion.

  • What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

    Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, promoting a smoother texture and more radiant skin.

    Improved Skin Tone: Reduces the appearance of hyperpigmentation, sunspots, and uneven skin tone.

    Reduced Fine Lines and Wrinkles: Helps minimize the appearance of fine lines and early signs of aging.

    Unclogs Pores: Can help reduce blackheads, whiteheads, and acne by keeping pores clear.

    Fades Scars and Blemishes: Improves the appearance of minor acne scars and blemishes.

    Stimulates Collagen Production: Encourages the skin to produce collagen, improving skin firmness and elasticity over time.

  • What is the Downtime?

    Microdermabrasion has minimal downtime. Your skin may appear slightly pink or flushed right after the treatment, but this usually subsides within a few hours to a day. Most people can return to their normal routine immediately after the treatment. You may experience some mild sensitivity or dryness, which can be easily managed with moisturizers.
