Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin. It helps with fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin texture by stimulating collagen production and promoting cell turnover.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion is performed using a handheld device that exfoliates the skin through one of two methods:

  1. Crystal Microdermabrasion: A machine sprays tiny crystals (aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate) onto the skin.The crystals gently abrade the surface while a vacuum suctions away debris and dead skin cells.
  2. Diamond-Tip Microdermabrasion: Uses a wand with a diamond-encrusted tip to physically exfoliate the skin. A vacuum removes dead cells while stimulating circulation and collagen production. Suitable for sensitive skin since it offers more controlled exfoliation.

Treatment Process

  1. Cleansing: Skin is cleansed to remove dirt, oil, and makeup.
