How are the right candidates?

Patients with fine facial lines or wrinkles, age spots, sun damage, uneven pigmentation, clogged pores, skin texture issues, or minor scars are good candidates for microdermabrasion. Patients with rosacea or acne might also benefit from microdermabrasion treatments. The gentle spray of microcrystals will eliminate or improve skin imperfections and conditions by removing the upper layer of dead and damaged skin cells to reveal new, fresh skin.

Procedure

During a microdermabrasion treatment, the clinician directs a stream of small (“micro”) aluminium oxide crystals through a hand piece that’s placed against the skin. These dermabrasion crystals exfoliate the skin, and the delicate suction created by the microdermabrasion system removes the skin debris and crystals.

Microdermabrasion helps produce thicker, healthier skin layers; multiple treatments are very important as a result of they encourage the production of a brand new layer of skin cells that contains higher levels of collagen and elastin. Each of these elements are essential for vibrant, healthy skin, and that they will further improve your complexion and the overall look of your skin. Close to 5 to 12 treatments spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart are typically necessary to reap full microdermabrasion advantages. Convenient and virtually painless, the microdermabrasion procedure takes only 30 to 60 minutes and is usually brought up as the “lunch hour facial.”
