Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion:
Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps to repair facial skin that has been over-exposed to the harsh elements we face on a daily basis. It helps with sun exposure, clogged pores, pigmentation irregularities, blackheads, stretch marks and can even reduce the early signs of aging and minor acne scaring. This technique is a non-invasive procedure which removes the surface layer of the skin thereby causing facial skin to appear younger, fresher and healthier.
How Does It Work?
During the procedure, the estitician will use a wand-like device that is brushed along the skin and, with the aid of suction, gently removes the surface layers of the epidermis. This process unclogs pores, removes dead skin cells and increases overall circulation. Microdermabrasion uses no lasers, acids or any other chemicals. It is a fast and easy way to help maintain beautiful skin.

Does It Hurt?
This is a non-invasive, non surgical procedure that involves little or no discomfort. Patients usually experience redness during the procedure which subsides shortly after the treatment. This procedure is quick and simple; it requires no anesthesia or any other numbing ailments. Microdermabrasion can even be used on the arms, hands and neck. This procedure is highly beneficial because it requires no down time. Patients can return to their normal daily activities immediately following the procedure.

What Are The Results?
Each treatment can take anywhere from 30 minutes to an hour. Most patients require at least five treatments in order to achieve dramatic results. Procedures are usually performed every two weeks or so. Depending on a client's overall skin condition, the microdermabrasion procedure may have to be repeated several times in order to receive the best results.
