What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is an excellent option for clients looking for a non-abrasive refresh of the skin. Using a specialized machine that gently sands your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer, Microdermabrasion is a procedure that forces the regeneration of new skin while stimulating the production of healthy cells, collagen, and elastin.
Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors. People might choose to get the procedure if they have the following skin concerns:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- hyperpigmentation, age spots, and brown spots
- enlarged pores and blackheads
- acne and acne scars
- stretch marks
- dull-looking skin complexion
- uneven skin tone and texture
- melasma
- sun damage
Preparing for Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, minimally invasive procedure. There’s very little you need to do to prepare for it.
Discussing your skin concerns with a skincare professional is an excellent idea to determine if Microdermabrasion is the right fit for you. Discuss any past cosmetic procedures, surgeries, allergies, and medical conditions.
Your esthetician may tell you to avoid sun exposure, tanning creams, and waxing for about a week before treatment. They may advise you to stop using exfoliating creams and masks approximately three days before treatment.
Esthetician will remove any makeup and cleanse your face before the procedure begins.
Microdermabrasion is different than dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is invasive skin to sanding that reaches deep layers of the skin.
