Microdermabrassion

divider

 

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure used to improve the appearance of skin. It involves exfoliating the outer layer of skin (epidermis) using a device that sprays tiny crystals onto the skin or uses a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the surface. This process helps to remove dead skin cells, stimulate cell turnover, and promote the growth of new, smoother, and more youthful-looking skin.

Key benefits of microdermabrasion include:

  1. Exfoliation: Removes dead skin cells, allowing new skin cells to surface.
  2. Improves Skin Texture: Smoothens rough skin texture and softens fine lines and wrinkles.
  3. Unclogs Pores: Helps to clear out pores, reducing blackheads and whiteheads.
  4. Enhances Absorption: Prepares the skin to better absorb skincare products.
  5. Stimulates Collagen Production: Promotes collagen production, which can improve skin elasticity and firmness over time.

Microdermabrasion is generally considered safe for most skin types and colors. It is used to treat a variety of skin concerns including sun damage, acne scars, age spots, and uneven skin tone. However, it may not be suitable for those with active acne, rosacea, eczema, or dermatitis.

The procedure itself is typically painless and requires little to no downtime. Multiple sessions may be recommended to achieve desired results, spaced several weeks apart. It's important to follow post-care instructions provided by your dermatologist or skincare professional to ensure optimal healing and results.

Welcome to Aesthetic Answers, your trusted source for all inquiries regarding aesthetic and plastic surgery.

What is microdermabrasion?

 

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.

What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?

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

How does microdermabrasion work?

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.
