This is a non-invasive skin exfoliating procedure that gently removes dead skin cells from the skin’s surface. It is usually done with a diamond-tipped hand-held applicator and patented vacuum technology that gently removes impurities and concurrently introduces specialized serums to deeply cleanse, exfoliates, hydrate, and rejuvenates the skin. The treatment is performed in a doctor’s clinic and by a qualified professional.
WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
Every person, whether young, old, a man, or a woman, desires to have healthy, youthful skin with a natural healthy glow. However, nature does not always grant us our wishes. Sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and causing changes in texture and color. What is worse is that not only is the face affected, but the neck, chest, cleavage, arms, and hands may be as well. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, exfoliating treatment that improves wrinkles, skin color, and skin texture by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. This reduces the effects of aging on our skin. It is a wonderful alternative to chemical peels because it is more gentle and effective than other exfoliating systems– even at higher settings. A wand consisting of natural diamond chips at its tip is gently brushed over the treated area to remove damaged and old skin cells to reveal the fresh young skin. It also stimulates the collagen tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance that you desire.
IS MICRODERMABRASION GOOD?
This will depend on the type of skin improvements you desire. The treatment is ideal for all skin colors and types, making it one of the most widely accepted facials out there. Benefits include younger, hydrated, and healthier-looking skin. However, this all-in-one facial has its limitations. For example, people who wish to target deep expression lines or wrinkles may experience better results with BTX injections. As such, it is important to have the right set of expectations prior to embarking on the Microdermabrasion facial.
