Microdermabrasion is a machine-based exfoliation treatment that uses diamond tips to gently polish dead skin cells from the skin’s surface, improving your skin tone and texture. You can get microdermabrasion on your face, neck, back, hands, or chest. Our microdermabrasion device uses two parts: a diamond-tip applicator for exfoliation and a machine-based suction to gently polish away the upper layers of the skin during the procedure. It is a non-invasive procedure performed by our trained skincare professional.

About
Microdermabrasion

History of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion has evolved from rocks, stones, and shells to crystals, particle-free diamond tips, and particle-free bristle tips. Once the desired amount of exfoliation has been reached, some microdermabrasion units will spray or infuse a skin-enhancing solution into the skin. Since microderm essentially manually removes limited layers of the stratum corneum (dead layers of the outer layer of the skin), any serum or topical product applied to the skin following microdermabrasion will potentially have a greater opportunity for penetration into the skin. Microdermabrasion is considered a relatively simple, easy, painless, and non-invasive skin rejuvenation procedure, but it does require specialist skills and tools. The vacuum pressure and speed are adjusted depending on the sensitivity and tolerance of the skin. Typical microdermabrasion sessions can last anywhere from 5 to 60 minutes, offered alone or as part of a facial as well as part of an advanced treatment such as LED. Because MD can be somewhat drying to the skin, a quick hydrating and nourishing gel or sheet mask can be added as part of a microdermabrasion treatment. Minimal to no recovery time is required after microdermabrasion, and most people immediately return to daily activity after a session. Makeup and non-irritating creams can usually be applied within a few hours or right after microdermabrasion. Since there is often immediate increased minor skin sensitivity after microdermabrasion, irritating products such as glycolic acids, Alpha Hydroxy Acids, Retinoid products, or fragranced creams and lotions are typically avoided right after the procedure. Our treatment finishes with the application of a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen. Some clients can combine with LED lamp, microcurrent, masks, or even chemical peels (smart microdermabrasion) for additional anti-aging benefits.

Does Microdermabrasion Hurt?

Microdermabrasion should not hurt. The first time you have it done, it may feel a little uncomfortable, and your skin may feel quite tight afterward. You may also feel the treated area of skin is quite warm later on.

You should be honest with your technician about your comfort levels. They can always adjust the suction level to make it more comfortable. If you have sensitive skin, do let the technician know in advance.

Effects of Microdermabrasion

Sun damage, age spots, acne scars and any associated scarring, pigmentation, open and closed comedones, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and coarsely textured skin.

Post-Treatment
Care for Microdermabrasion

  • Microdermabrasion is generally safe, with most side effects being short-lived, such as redness, swelling, or sensitivity.
  • After the procedure, it’s crucial to avoid sun exposure, excessive sweating, and harsh skincare products for at least 24 to 48 hours to prevent skin damage and minimize side effects.
  • Keeping the skin hydrated with gentle moisturizers and using sunscreen is essential for the first few weeks after treatment to aid in the skin’s recovery and protection.

Immediate
Aftercare Guidelines

  • Following microdermabrasion, patients can typically go home right away.
  • While immediate side effects like redness and swelling are common, they should subside within 24 hours.
  • Patients should avoid activities that could irritate the skin or worsen side effects, such as rubbing or using certain skincare products.

Precautions
and Recommendations

  • To ensure the best results and minimize risks, it’s essential to follow specific precautions both before and after microdermabrasion.
  • Patients should refrain from using topical acne creams for at least 24 hours post-treatment and avoid certain skincare products known to cause irritation or sensitivity.
  • Proper hydration, sunscreen use, and gentle skincare are vital components of post-treatment care to support the skin’s healing process and maintain its health.

Reduced Scarring

Microdermabrasion can reduce the appearance of mild scarring, such as from acne or stretch marks, making them less obvious.

Improved Circulation

Microdermabrasion improves circulation in the skin, ensuring that necessary nutrients and oxygen reach the area for rejuvenation.

Enhanced Product Absorption

After microdermabrasion, your skin is more able to absorb skincare products, making them more effective, particularly for treating conditions like acne.

Pore Reduction

Microdermabrasion can reduce the size of pores by unclogging them and improving circulation, resulting in smoother skin texture.
