BENEFITS OF MICRODERMABRASION

  • Eliminates facial scarring

  • Smooth out facial wrinkles



MICRODERMABRASION PROCEDURE

Before your Dermabrasion treatment, your skin is thoroughly cleansed to remove oil and dirt. A special device is used to exfoliate your skin gently. The device uses high-speed rough rolling brush at a controlled pressure to remove dead skin cells. The cells are then removed with a gentle suction instrument.

Immediately following Dermabrasion treatment, your skin will feel as though it has been burned. Pain medication will be prescribed to help you deal with any discomfort, which will subside a few days after the procedure.

The procedure itself may take up to 2 hours, but spot treatments are usually concluded within 30 minutes. Following the procedure, the face will be red and swollen and it is common for scabbing and crusting to occur over the areas that were treated. It is imperative that patients avoid sun exposure to protect the new layer of skin. The skin will look soft and smooth with a visible decrease in irregularities.

MICRODERMABRASION RECOVERY

Healing usually takes place within the first week, and the new skin will appear pink until about eight weeks following the treatment. Makeup can be used to cover up as soon as the skin is healed, and sunscreen should be generously applied for six months following the procedure.
