What Is Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a soft and pleasant way to remove dead skin and promote a healthy complexion. It uses ultra fine crystals to exfoliate the outer layer of the skin, leaving the skin feeling silky and soft to the touch. It also stimulates skin circulation, asking the skin to ‘wake up’ and to increase cell turnover.
Microdermabrasion is often used as a means to prepare the skin for other treatments. Those who are prepping for a laser treatment or chemical peel, will often have microdermabrasion leading up to their treatment. This helps make their skin optimally functioning and decreases any dead skin cells at the surface of the skin, allowing the laser or peel to penetrate with more ease.
Treatment takes half and hour and is described as feeling slightly scratchy, but not painful. Your skin will likely look pink after treatment, but this will subside over the next 12 hours. Many clients have microdermabrasion on their lunchbreak or midweek as there is no downtime following it.
