What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic treatment that uses a mechanical medium such as crystals or diamonds to exfoliate the epidermis. The epidermis is the outermost layer of the skin that continues to shed dead skin cells. Microdermabrasion treatments sloughs off the dead skin cells to reveal the fresh new skin cells underneath, stimulating collagen production, and dramatically improve the appearance of the skin.

Why Microdermabrasion is so effective?

People who try microdermabrasion are often surprised at the dramatic improvements they see after just one treatment. This is because the dead skin cells that do not fall away from the skin can collect sweat, oil, environmental pollutants, makeup, and dirt before it completely sheds and fall away from our skin. These dead skin cells create the perfect environment for bacteria, fungus, and skin mites to grow. This layer of dead cells also exaggerates our skin folds, fine lines, skin texture, and pores to make it more visible to our eyes.  

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion can benefit anyone at any age, with any skin colour, and skin type, without going through more time consuming and invasive procedures. You can expect to see improvements to the tone, texture, colour, and condition of the areas after just one treatment. It is especially effective for:

  • Oily skin
  • Clogged pores
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne
  • Fine lines
  • Scars
  • Uneven skin tone
  • Dull or poor skin texture
  • Sun spots and damage

The physical massaging of the skin while performing microdermabrasion also increase blood circulation, and helps lymph flow, which speeds up the detoxification of the skin and further promotes the health and appearance of the skin.

Microdermabrasion is a gentle skin treatment that does not require down time. It is non invasive, as it only removes the flaws at the outermost layer of the skin. It is often called the ‘lunch time facial’ as it can be completed within 20 minutes and makeup can be applied immediately. This is the ‘go to’ treatment for many celebrities use when they need to refresh the appearance of their skin right before a big event.

Skincare after Microdermabrasion

It is important to use a moisturizer and protect the skin from the sun after a microdermabrasion treatment. Avoid sun exposure for a few days immediately after the treatment if possible.

When the fresh new skin cells are exposed after a treatment, it will take up more of the products you apply to the skin. You will see an increased effect for any products applied, so take advantage of this by using non-irritating nourishing products for the skin to rejuvenate. Exposed new skin cells also means that any irritating products may cause more sensitivity. Products such as glycolic acids, alpha hydroxyl acids, and retinol products, and fragrances should be avoided right after the treatment.
