MICRODERMABRASION

WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?

If you have never used microdermabrasion before, it is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that helps improve the appearance of your skin. During the treatment, a handheld device gently exfoliates and removes the outer layer of dead skin cells from your face, neck, or other areas. The process can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, and other skin concerns. By removing the dead skin cells, the treatment stimulates cell renewal and collagen production, leading to smoother, more youthful-looking skin. It’s a painless procedure, and there’s no downtime so that you can return to your daily activities immediately after the treatment. This treatment is ideal for anyone looking to rejuvenate their skin and achieve a brighter, smoother, and more radiant complexion.

Before Care

• Refrain from using Retin-A, tanning beds, and creams for a week before the procedure.
• Avoid chemical peels or any other facial treatments before the procedure.
• This prevents any potential irritation or complications that may affect the treatment results.

Treatment

• The first step is to cleanse the skin thoroughly to remove any makeup, dirt, or oil.
• A handheld device is then used to exfoliate dead skin cells off the skin gently. This process helps remove any debris or toxins clogging the pores.
• The device also features a suction component that immediately removes these dead cells. This suction helps stimulate blood flow and promote collagen production, which can help reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, and other skin concerns.
• After the treatment, a hydrating serum or moisturiser is applied to the skin to soothe and hydrate it. This step helps lock in moisture and promote healing.

After Care

• After the procedure, you must stay out of the sun as much as possible. Sun exposure can cause further irritation, redness, and damage to the skin. If the you do to go out in the sun, they must use a high SPF to protect their skin from harmful UV rays.
• Retinol, acids, masks, peels, exfoliating agents, and scrubs are not recommended. These products can further irritate the skin and cause redness, dryness, and flakiness.
• You should apply a gentle, non-irritating moisturiser to hydrate the skin and promote healing. This step helps prevent dryness and flakiness while restoring the skin's natural barrier.
• It's essential to follow up with your skincare steps to ensure that the skin is healing correctly and address any concerns or issues. Your clinician may also recommend additional treatments or products to enhance the procedure's results.
