Microdermabrasion

What is it? 

Microdermabrasion is a gentle yet effective skin exfoliation and rejuvenation procedure that buffs away dead skin cells and stimulates collagen production, resulting in smooth, clear, softer looking skin.

 

How does it work? 

Microdermabrasion treatments are performed by trained skin care professionals. An in-house microdermabrasion machine is used which applies a simultaneous two part exfoliation process. A "wand" made of a rough material, such as diamond flakes, is used to lift dead skin cells, while a vacuum like suction is applied to remove dead skin cells.  Vacuum pressure and speed are adjusted depending on skin sensitivities and tolerances. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, non-surgical, non-chemical skin care treatment option. No needles or anesthetics are required. Treatment times can range in length.

 

Why would I chose to have a microdermabrasion treatment?

Microdermabrasion treatments are designed for the treatment of minor skin imperfections and the reduction of:

• fine lines

• sun damaged skin

• hyper-pigmented skin

• mild acne

• light age spots

 

Who can have a microdermabrasion treatment?

People of all ages (12 years+), all skin types and all skin tones can benefit from a microdermabrasion treatment.

 

Is there any pain or side effects from a microdermabrasion treatment?

There should be no pain associated with a microdermabrasion treatment. Skin is exfoliated with what feels like light sandpaper. Some skin types experience a slight redness after a microdermabrasion treatment. Redness typically fades in hours, or in extreme cases within one to two days maximum. 

 

How many treatments are required?

Microdermabrasion is a temporary skin rejuvenation procedure. Skin cells typically rejuvenate every 30 days. Dead skin cells should be removed at regular intervals to help keep skin looking healthy and youthful. While you will see results after a single microdermabrasion treatment, regular treatments every 4-6 weeks will help keep skin looking and feeling its best.

 

How do I know if microdermabrasion is right for me?

While microdermabrasion treatments are safe and effective for most people, it is important that you book a consultation with a skin care professional to determine if microdermabrasion is right for you.
