Microdermabrasion is a form of mechanical exfoliation that removes dead skin cells from the epidermis (outermost layer of skin). The type of microdermabrasion that I perform is Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion. This uses a crushed diamond tip that is coarse for exfoliation combined with suction to aid in pore cleansing and provides the level of exfoliation. There are many benefits of Microdermabrasion which include:
- Smooths Fine lines and wrinkles
- Diminishes large pores
- Helps mild skin congestion
- Mild hyperpigmentation
- Smooths superficial scarring
- Smooths Stretch marks
- Stimulates the production of collagen
Treatments work best in a series of 6, 7-10 days apart. Post treatment, the client should always use moisturizer and SPF of 30 or more. Clients should avoid hot showers, exercise, steam or saunas for at least 24 hours and should avoid exfoliation prior and post treatment for at least 7 days. Please avoid prior to treatment for at least 1-2 weeks: Botox, Fillers (6 weeks prior), Electrolysis, waxing, Retin A, or any topical prescription acne medication. This treatment is not for those with Diabetes, Hepatitis, Auto Immune Disorders and results may vary in clients who smoke.
