FAQ’s – Microdermabrasion
What Is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a facial procedure that uses manual exfoliation to remove the outer layer of skin. This process works in a series of treatments to achieve the best results.
What happens in a treatment?
Your skin will first of all be cleansed then followed with the microdermabrasion wand moving smoothly over your skin. A hydrating mask followed by a treatment serum and moisturizing sunscreen. The entire procedure should take 45 minutes.
What will microdermabrasion do for my skin?
Overall, microdermabrasion will reduce the appearance of wrinkles, remove acne scars, clear up blackheads, minimize the size of the pores, reduce sun damage, and even out the skin tone. Microdermabrasion also helps to boost collagen production to provide firming and toning to the complexion.
Is there any downtime after a treatment?
Microdermabrasion is a safe and gentle procedure with no downtime. The client may experience a slight pinkness and will need to protect his or her skin with moisturizer and sunblock for 48 hours after the treatment.
How many treatments do I need?
When it comes to microdermabrasion, one treatment will not provide instant results, 3 to 6 are recommended for the best results.
How does a microdermabrasion treatment work on the skin?
The exfoliating effect of microdermabrasion will increase cell turnover creating collagen and fibroblasts. This will give the dermal layer more spring.
What results can I expect?
You will notice an improvement in your skin’s appearance after your treatment. Stretch marks and acne scars will be less obvious. Age spots and fine lines are reduced, and many Microdermabrasion clients report that their skin seems softer, tighter, smoother, and younger-looking.
What is the difference between Crystal Microdermabrasion and Diamond Microdermabrasion?
The regular crystal microdermabrasion technology involves the use of a special, hand-held device that propels a high-speed flow of aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin. At the same time, the machine’s vacuum system sucks away dirt, dead cells, and used crystals.
The diamond tip handpiece replaces the micro-crystal flow with a laser-cut diamond tip wand. Other than that, crystal-free diamond head microdermabrasion works in the same way traditional microabrasion does. The wand tip is made of natural laser-cut diamond chips which polish the skin and remove dead cells, which are then vacuumed back into a waste filter.
