Microdermabrasion

Collagen is a protein found in the skin that contributes to its firm and velvety texture. As we get older, our collagen synthesis slows down, leading to saggier, less even skin. The outer, rougher layer of your skin may be safely and effectively removed with the use of a slightly abrasive device during a microdermabrasion treatment. Light scarring, discoloration, UV damage, and stretch marks are all treatable with microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion can thicken collagen, resulting in a more youthful appearance.

Benefits

• Reduces the appearance of freckles and blackheads.
• Exfoliates the skin.
• Restores a refreshed, youthful look.
• Reduces the appearance of acne scars.
• Causes pores to shrink.
• Possibility of entirely reversing enlarged pores.
• Lightens the dark spots on your skin (hyperpigmentation).
• Revitalizes and rejuvenates tired skin.
• Maximizes collagen synthesis.

Microdermabrasion may be performed on all skin tones and kinds. The therapy improves the skin in subtle ways without altering its color or leaving any scars. Congenital skin abnormalities, most moles, pigmented birthmarks, and burn scars cannot be treated with microdermabrasion.

Skin Resurfacing With Advanced Microdermabrasion Methods

Handpiece with a diamond tip: A diamond-tip handpiece is designed to gently exfoliate dead skin cells while simultaneously suctioning them away. The depth of the abrasion can be adjusted by varying the pressure applied to the handpiece as well as the duration of the suction on the skin. This type of microdermabrasion applicator is typically used in more delicate facial areas, such as around the eyes.

Microdermabrasion with crystals: Crystal microdermabrasion involves a handpiece that emits small crystals to gently rub away the skin's surface layers. Dead skin cells are suctioned off immediately, much like the diamond-tip handpiece.

Hydradermabrasion: Hydradermabrasion is a relatively recent technique that combines crystal-free exfoliation with product absorption into the skin simultaneously. The procedure is intended to increase collagen formation and blood flow to the skin.

Treatment Follow-Up

After the treatment, your skin may be temporarily flushed and appear pink, but this effect will subside within 24 hours. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure, and in most cases, recovery takes only 7-10 days. Typically, individuals can resume normal activities within one to two weeks after completing the therapy. It is advisable to avoid direct sunlight until any residual pinkness has faded. After treatment, your skin may feel sunburned, dry, and tight for up to 24 hours. To alleviate these symptoms, use a moisturizer and consult your doctor for the best recommendation.
