What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a simple and effective form of exfoliation. It is considered a mechanical or physical exfoliation using crystals to remove the outer layer of dead or damaged skin cells revealing a more youthful skin. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve the overall texture, tone and clarity of the skin while restoring the skin's elasticity.
How does Microdermabrasion work?
This type of exfoliation is performed by gently sandblasting the skin with a high pressure flow of ultra fine inert corundum crystal designed to remove the outer most layers of the epidermis followed with a vacuum suction action that removes the crystals. While the crystals are performing the exfoliation, the vacuum suction action taking place is equally important because it is stimulating the lower layers of the skin. Combining skin exfoliation with regenerating suction, this unique system stimulate subdermal activities that "renew" the anti-aging mechanisms of the skin that slow with age. Microdermabrasion is recommended in a series, the results are cumulative and improve with each treatment.
How many treatments are needed?
Microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment, not aggressive. Although one microdermabrasion will yield a fresher, smoother looking skin, generally results are realised after the forth, firth or sixth treatment.
Average treatment protocol is 4-12 treatment. How many treatments might be necessary will depend on the condition of the skin and the needs of the client. Initially treatments can be performed every 7-10 days or 10-14 days apart. Once the series of treatments is completed it is recommended that monthly maintenance continue in order to maintain the desired result.
What type of skin can benefit?
All skin types and skin colours can benefit from microdermabrasion treatments. Ageing, congested, flaky, dry, devitalised, thickened, blemished, dull and sun damaged skin will be rejuvenated and refreshed. Blotchiness, uneven skin tones and texture will be improved. Microdermabrasion will reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, chicken pox scars, brown/age spots, fine lined wrinkles, hyperkeratosis (overgrowth of the hornylayer), large pores and other skin imperfections.
