Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion-Non invasive resurfacing treatment!!!!Microdermabrasion uses fine particles of aluminum oxide (180grid) to remove the dead layer of cells from the skin, and stimulate the production of new collagen and cells in the deeper layers of the skin. The micro crystals cause a gentle exfoliation of the skin and removal of dead cells. It sometimes is referred to as a 'sandblasting' technique.
You will lie back comfortably with a towel cover placed over your hair. Your face is cleansed. You will feel the tiny particles as they exfoliate the dead skin cells. Many patients say the sensation is similar to the feel of a kitten licking their hand. The vacuum system pulls the particles and the loosened skin away leaving your with a silky smooth complexion and short term rosy glow.
The microdermabrasion system is so successful due to its unique combination of a high-velocity vacuum and the microscopic size of the exfoliating particles. The aluminum oxide crystals are sterile and self-contained so they never touch human hands before they come into contact with your skin.
Pre Treatment Recommendations
Do not use retinoids such as Retin-A or Avage or high strength retinols for several days prior to your microdermabrasion treatment. Avoid the use of at-home peeling agents and take care that you do not sunburn your skin. Please inform us of any topical products, prescription or otherwise, that you are using on your skin.
Aftercare Recommendations
Make up on the day of treatment should be avoided to allow the skin to regenerate itself and to not clog the pores. Since microdermabrasion can be a very dehydrating procedure we advise use of moisturizing treatments following your treatment. Sun block is used to protect the your skin from sunburn and should be used daily to prevent recurrence of sun damage.
