Microdermabrasion
Description
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure designed to gently exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin’s outermost layer. It utilizes a specialized device with an abrasive applicator – typically using either fine crystals or a diamond-encrusted tip – to gently sand away the dead and damaged cells of the stratum corneum (the top layer of skin). Simultaneously, a vacuum suction component removes the exfoliated skin cells and stimulates circulation. This process aims to improve the overall tone and texture of the skin, addressing concerns such as sun damage, fine lines, age spots, mild acne scarring, enlarged pores, and dull complexion. A series of treatments is usually recommended for optimal results.
The Benefit
Microdermabrasion offers a non-surgical way to refresh the skin’s appearance with little to no downtime. Here are some potential benefits:

✓ Reduces Superficial Pigmentation: Lessens the appearance of sun spots, age spots, and minor blotchiness.
✓ Softens Fine Lines: Can diminish the look of early or fine wrinkles.
✓ Minimizes Pore Appearance: Helps unclog pores and can make them look smaller.
✓ Reduces Mild Acne Scarring: Can improve the texture of superficial acne scars over time.
✓ Brighter Complexion: Removes dull surface cells to reveal more radiant skin underneath.
✓ Enhances Product Absorption: Allows skincare products to penetrate more effectively.
✓ Minimal Downtime: Typically allows for an immediate return to daily activities.
