Advanced Microdermabrasion

Immediate gratification, bringing softer smoother skin to the surface

Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular non-surgical cosmetic procedures today. It is a skin rejuvenation technique that helps repair skin that is damaged from the sun, acne or the effects of aging. The aesthetician uses a crystals or crystal free device across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin.

Professional Microdermabrasion techniques commonly include crystal and non-crystal machine. This procedure requires no medical oversight and is commonly used in conjunction with facial treatments and chemical peels.

Microdermabrasion Techniques

Microdermabrasion works to two unique ways:

1. By deep exfoliations and cleansing skin pores - and thus healing existing acne
2. By removing the dead skin cells - and thus preventing pimples from appearing. Pimples are usually caused by dead skin cell that's fill up skin pores.

Why microdermabrasion?

Skin reproduces itself approximately every 28 days. A newborn skin cell, or epidermal cell, pushes their way to the surface leaving death cell on the skin surface. This often can cause clogged or enlarge pores, a bumpy looking skin, and a dull appearance. In addition to regular skin reproduction the skin's appearance is determined by its exposure to potentially harmful environmental influences such as direct sunlight and air pollution. As we age this process slows down leading to the appearance of older skin with less radiance.

Who is candidate for microdermabrasion?

Men and women of all skin types. Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, enlarged pores, age spots, acne scars and improves overall skin tone so skin will have a rejuvenated look, and a refreshed feeling. Microdermabrasion stimulates the production of skin cells and collagen.

What the Microdermabrasion procedure looks like?

The irregular shape and hardness of crystals makes the material extremely efficient for numerous skin defects. The vacuum control located on the machine determines the depth of abrasion and the rate at which crystals are pulled across the skin's surface.

How many will I need?

It all depends of patent skin condition, but in average it is required 4 to 8 treatments spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart. Most people should see improvements after one treatment. With multiple treatments, fine lines, acne scars and enlarged pores become less noticeable and skin looks more translucent. Maintenance of results requires periodic repeat treatments after the initial regimen is completed.

What is the recovery time after the Microdermabrasion treatment?

Microdermabrasion is the "lunchtime" procedure. There is very little recovery time needed after Microdermabrasion. Your treatment area may feel slightly sunburned after the procedure, but this should last only a few hours. Our staff will recommend a moisturizer to use after your treatment. Your skin will be extra sensitive to the sun after Microdermabrasion, so please wear a high-quality sunscreen with a SPF 25 or higher. You should avoid Alpha-Hydroxy Acid, Glycolic Acid products and skin exfoliation scrubs 3-days before and 3-days after a treatment. We discourage the use of full face make-up, such as liquid foundations or pressed powder foundations for 24 hours after a treatment
