Microdermabrasion

What It Is:

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure designed to exfoliate the skin, removing dead skin cells and promoting new cell growth. It is commonly used to improve the appearance of fine lines, sun damage, acne scars, and uneven skin tone.

How the Procedure is Done:

  1. Preparation: The skin is cleansed to remove any makeup, oil, or impurities.
  2. Exfoliation: A handheld device is used to spray fine crystals onto the skin’s surface, gently exfoliating the top layer. Alternatively, some systems use a diamond-tipped wand to achieve similar results.
  3. Suction: As the crystals are applied, the device also uses suction to remove the exfoliated skin cells and debris, stimulating blood circulation.
  4. Aftercare: Following the procedure, a soothing serum or moisturizer is typically applied to hydrate the skin. Patients may experience slight redness, but this usually subsides quickly.
