Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment with many benefits. This treatment can smooth out the texture of the skin. It can brighten up dull looking skin. The treatment can clean out the pores, reduce blemishes and reduce pore size. It can increase the regeneration and reproduction rate of your skin cells. It can also minimize the appearance of wrinkles and age lines.

The process is simple. Your skin is cleansed well. Then a diamond abrasive hand piece is combined with suction is moved over the skin in a crossing motion removing the dead skin and other particles are removed through a wand or a hand piece through which the abrasive particles are sprayed on the surface of the skin. After the impurities and dead skin has been removed, a vitamin mask is applied to the skin to help the skin recover moisture and nutrients for the new skin cells. This method also encourages natural skin renewal.

Microdermabrasion treatments are safe to have weekly for most people. Those with sensitive skin may want to limit their microdermabrasion treatment to once a month. It is recommended to have a series of six treatments to get the full effects of the microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion increases collagen on the skin firming it. The treatment also enhances lymph flow as well as circulation to the skin. This contributes to the healthy, natural glow to your skin and promotes future skin health.

After microdermabrasion, you can expect to notice a slightly pink hue to your skin. Your skin might feel itchy. There may be flaking or peeling. You may even have a small pimple break out. Afterwards, you should avoid prolonged exposure to the sun. If you have to be in the sun, you should apply a lotion of SPF 30 or more. You should avoid exfoliation treatments three days before and a full week after the microdermabrasion. Also, avoid tanning beds for the same reason as avoiding sun, your skin will be very sensitive to the UV radiation and will burn more easily. In addition, avoid products that are too stimulating to the skin.
