Microdermabrasion is a unique, non-invasive treatment that provides incredible exfoliation by gently “sanding away” the top layer of skin. It quickly reveals the brighter, smoother, healthier skin underneath.
This exfoliating process also promotes faster cellular turnover, which can treat and resolve many skin conditions. Microdermabrasion helps with acne and scarring, sun damage and hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone, rough and dull skin, and enlarged pores. Plus, it decreases fine lines and wrinkles, helping you look younger.
Since it is non-invasive and requires no chemicals, microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types. However, it may not be suitable for people with highly sensitive skin, active rosacea, psoriasis, eczema, and open sores.
To ensure you have the safest and most effective treatment, please follow all pre- and post-procedure instructions.
Although mechanical exfoliation may feel slightly uncomfortable, most people experience no pain. We’ve often heard people comparing Microdermabrasion to being licked by a cat.
However, after the procedure, you may experience increased sensitivity, swelling, and discomfort, which can feel like a sunburn. These common effects can be treated with soothing creams or cold compresses, and they will usually resolve within 24 hours.
Your new skin will also likely be pink to pinkish red at first. Typically, the pink will fade within 48 hours but may last up to a week. Discoloration can be easily covered with makeup 24 hours after your procedure.
Finally, it is common to experience mild flaking or peeling. Again, this will resolve on its own. Keeping your skin moisturized and drinking plenty of water for internal hydration can help decrease or prevent peeling. Remember not to scratch, pick, or peel the skin, which can lead to wounds and scarring.
