Frequently asked questions about Microdermabrasion
How does the treatment work?
Each session decreases imperfections and sun damage, without damaging the skin’s integrity. Microdermabrasion combines a spray of fine crystals with controlled suction. The procedure will polish the surface of your skin by removing layers of dead, dry skin cells, and mildly stimulating the growth of collagen.
What is the treatment like?
Microdermabrasion is a comfortable treatment. You may experience a slight tingling sensation. Many patients find it very relaxing. There is no downtime, so you can apply make-up and resume normal activities immediately.
What improvements will I see?
Your skin will feel smoother immediately after treatment. Occasionally, a small amount of peeling or flaking will occur as the dull dry skin disappears. Over time you will see a smoother, more refined appearance. When repeated multiple times, microdermabrasion allows younger, softer skin to move to the surface, promoting improvements in texture and tone, polishing the skin to perfection.
