Microdermabrasion

Standard microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skincare treatment that uses a mechanical device to exfoliate the skin. It involves the use of tiny crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to remove dead skin cells from the surface, promoting a smoother, brighter, and more even complexion. Here’s a general overview of the process:

1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed to remove makeup, oils, and impurities.
2. Exfoliation: A machine sprays micro-crystals (such as aluminum oxide) or uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently buff away the outer layer of dead skin cells. The exfoliation process helps to stimulate collagen production.
3. Vacuuming: The device also uses suction to remove the exfoliated dead skin cells, promoting circulation and further rejuvenating the skin.
4. Post-Treatment Care: Afterward, a moisturizer or serum may be applied to soothe the skin, and sunscreen is recommended since the skin can be more sensitive to the sun.

Microdermabrasion is typically used to improve the appearance of:

• Fine lines
• Acne scars
• Sun damage
• Uneven skin tone or texture

It is generally safe for most skin types and requires little to no downtime, although you might experience slight redness or sensitivity for a short period afterward. It’s often done as a series of treatments to achieve the best results.
