Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses exfoliation to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. It can improve skin texture, tone, and appearance.

Some benefits include:

• Smoother skin texture
• Improved skin tone
• Reduction in the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
• Minimized pore size
• Evened out skin pigmentation
• Enhanced effectiveness of skincare products

During the procedure, a handheld device sprays tiny crystals onto the skin to gently remove the outer layer. Alternatively, a diamond-tipped wand can be used for abrasion. The dead skin cells and used crystals are then suctioned away.

Most people find microdermabrasion to be relatively painless. You may feel a mild scratching sensation as the device exfoliates the skin, but it is generally well-tolerated without anesthesia.

 

A typical session lasts between 30 minutes to an hour, depending on the area being treated and the specific technique used. There is no downtime, so you can resume normal activities immediately afterward.

The number of sessions needed varies based on individual skin concerns and goals. For optimal results, a series of sessions spaced about 2 to 4 weeks apart is often recommended. Maintenance treatments every 1 to 3 months may also be advised to sustain results.
