Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non-invasive procedure that helps to exfoliate and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing a rejuvenated and smoother skin texture. As the growth of new, healthier skin cells occurs, it will create a revitalized and radiant look.
Microdermabrasion is considered a pain-free, and safe procedure for any skin type or color. When performed by a skilled provider, it will take approximately 30-40 minutes and requires no anesthesia or numbing products on the skin. Although there is no pretreatment of the area, a consultation to address any questions or concerns will be provided before your appointment. It comes with some amazing benefits.
Microdermabrasion Benefits
1) Tighten and smooth skin. One of the key benefits of microdermabrasion is its ability to reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. The exfoliation process during treatment helps to stimulate collagen production, which is essential for maintaining optimal elasticity and firmness of the skin. After treatment, lines and wrinkles become less noticeable creating a more youthful appearance.
2) Reduce acne scars. Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for diminishing the appearance of acne scars. Since this procedure works by exfoliating the skin and promoting cell turnover, it helps to fade away scars left behind by acne.
3) Minimize sun damage. Sun exposure can leave a blotchy look to the skin but microdermabrasion can work to fade these spots and improve the overall texture and tone of the skin. It is highly effective for sun spots as it works to help remove the outer layer of dead skin cells, which often contain discoloration from sun damage.
4) Fade age spots. Microdermabrasion can help to even out skin tone by reducing the appearance of hyperpigmentation and age spots. Following your treatments, the rejuvenation process uncovers fresh skin cells and will significantly improve skin radiance. This process of cell turnover is a big plus when working to fade age spots.
5) Treat stretch marks. Stretch marks that occur after weight loss or pregnancy can be effectively treated with microdermabrasion procedures. Targeting the area to encourage collagen production works to plump up and tone the skin and reduce the depth of skin dimpling or marks on the surface.
6) Revitalize skin tone and allow products to work efficiently. If you want to maximize the benefits of your skincare routine, consider incorporating microdermabrasion into your regimen. It aids in product absorption and improves overall effectiveness. Removing the outer layer of dead skin cells allows the underlying healthy skin to absorb products better. The results are a brighter, smoother canvas and a more radiant complexion that looks refreshed and revitalized. It makes sense to do what you can so that your moisturizers, serums, and other skincare treatments can work more efficiently, delivering their active ingredients deep into your skin.
7) Reduce the appearance of large pores. Enlarged pores can occur as you get older and from exposure to the sun. Microdermabrasion can help by promoting the growth of new, healthy skin cells, leading to an even and balanced tone. The exfoliation process also helps to unclog pores, resulting in a smaller appearance. This process works to prevent breakouts and allows your skin to breathe.
