Microdermabrasion

What
is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a system of intense
exfoliation and resurfacing that rejuvenates the skin by using
ultra-fine crystals (corundum,organic salt). These
crystals strike the skin to remove its outer layer, known as the
stratum corneum. At the same time, a vacuum tube sweeps up
both the crystals and the skin cellular debris. It is used for
skin resurfacing and treating a range of skin
abnormalities.
What
are the uses for Microdermabrasion?
Since the
combination of skin exfoliation with slight suction stimulates the
production of new, living cells at the base level of the skin, the
result is healthier, fresher skin with enhanced elasticity and
texture. Over the series of treatments, you will notice a
reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, tightening of enlarged pores,
elimination of blackheads and whiteheads, reduction of scarred
tissue (such as acne or chicken pox scars), and a reduction of
blemishes caused by sun damage.
When
are results noticed?
Immediately!
After your first treatment the skin feels smoother, after the third
treatment the skin is visibly glowing. There is no "healing
time", no need to hide away for days or weeks before returning to
your normal lifestyle.
Is
Microdermabrasion safe for all skin types?
Yes.
All skin types can have the treatment, Asian skin and skin types
Iv-VI will require more treatments at a lower
setting.
How
many treatments are needed?
Depending
on what type of skin problems you are trying to correct, the typical
series of treatments would be 5-8. These treatments would be
ideally 7-10 days apart, and no longer than 14 days. The skin
needs ample time to regenerate between sessions, therefore it is not
recommended to have treatments before this time.
What
kind of maintenance procedures should be
followed?
After
the treatment the skin may feel tight as if exposed to the sun or
wind, and you may experience some flaking. There may also be
some marked redness, which will subside in a few hours. It is
advisable not to go swimming, exercise or have any sun exposure for
24 hours. Makeup can be applied but is desirable to leave the
skin clean and fresh for the remainder of the day.
Microdermabrasion can be a dehydrating procedure, so it is important
to follow up with a proper home care routine. Sunscreen is
a must.
