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.
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.
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.
