How microdermabrasion works
Microdermabrasion is a controlled, non-invasive method that removes dead skin cells in the outermost layers of the skin to stimulate collagen growth in the middle and deeper layers. Collagen is a protein serving multiple functions in the body, one of which is keeping your skin plump, supple, and resilient.
During the procedure, a handheld device is applied into the skin’s top layers. The entire treatment takes roughly 30 minutes for the face and 20 minutes for the neck.
Who should have microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion, whether it’s a single treatment or multiple sessions, can address the following issues:
- The appearance of enlarged pores
- Mild to moderate acne scarring
- Dry, dull skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Hyperpigmentation issues such as sun spots or age spots
Individuals with highly sensitive skin should not have microdermabrasion. For more information on microdermabrasion and other facial rejuvenation alternatives, give us a call. We’d love to hear from you!
