FAQ
Q: What is microdermabrasion?
A: Microdermabrasion is a quick and convenient procedure that has become very popular with patients who have early signs of aging, sun exposure, and other facial imperfections. It is a closed vacuum system that delivers aluminum oxide crystals to the skin to aggressively exfoliate away the dull layer of dead skin, smooth and re-texturize the skin, and leave it soft and glowing. A vacuum then suctions away the exfoliated cells and crystals from your skin’s surface.
Q: Is microdermabrasion safe?
A: Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types and colors.
Q: Why should I consider microdermabrasion?
A: Microdermabrasion is suggested for the following concerns:
- Dull, oily or leathery skin texture
- Minimizing enlarged pores
- Exfoliating and suctioning clogged pores in acne cases
- Polishing and reducing fine lines. Treatments will not significantly improve advanced deep wrinkles.
- Mild acne scarring
- Mild pigment irregularities
- Enhancing penetration of therapeutic remedies
- Hyperpigmentation
- Minimizing blemishes
- Elimination of white and black heads
- Keratosis Pilaris
Q: Does Microdermabrasion hurt?
A: Not really. Microdermabrasion may sting a little around the eye area. Our Aesthetician will normally increase the treatment strength each session to increase the penetration to the skin. Your skin may feel a little warm and appear a little pink immediately following your treatment, but this is very temporary. You should tell your Aesthetician immediately if your treatment is too uncomfortable; they can adjust the settings if it is too strong for you.
Q: Can I combine Microdermabrasion with another procedure?
A: Yes. Microdermabrasion is the perfect compliment to other procedures including Laser Skin Rejuvenation.
Microdermabrasion
Age, environment, genetics, hormone balance, and inadequate diet all contribute to how your skin looks and how frequently it produces new, healthy cells.
To help your skin become smoother, healthier and younger looking, microdermabrasion is an excellent option.
Microdermabrasion works by exfoliating, or removing, the topmost layer of the skin, revealing the supple, vibrant skin underneath. It is an ideal treatment for anyone who wants to improve their skin’s appearance, and can be used on any part of the body, not just on the face. Microdermabrasion is safe on all skin types and colors, even sensitive skin and on acne.
Microdermabrasion is effective in minimizing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and it can help the following:
- Sun damaged skin (face, neck, shoulders)
- Age spots
- Acne scarring
- Extract blackheads and whiteheads
- Minor scarring
- Hyperpigmentation
- Oily Skin
- Rough patches on elbows, hands & knees
- And more…
