Microdermabrasion (Skin Treatments)

Today we are talking about Microdermabrasion.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that is commonly used to treat acne, scarring and other skin irregularities. It can be used on the face, neck, back, chest and hands. It is conducted by using an exfoliating material such as crystals or diamond flakes and suction from a microdermabrasion machine.

The exfoliating material is pumped using pressure towards the skin, causing abrasion while the vacuum removes the material and exfoliated skin cells.

Microdermabrasion helps to exfoliate or temporarily remove a few top layers of the skin, it can also reduce fine lines, wrinkles, and age spots, making the skin smoother and younger looking.

Can I have Microdermabrasion?

If you do not have Impetigo, Warts, Auto Immune disorders, or Rosacea then you should be good to go, speaking to a professional is the best thing to do beforehand, but especially if you have Rosacea, as sometimes the treatment can negatively affect active rosacea.

Treatment cannot be performed within 14 days of having Botox or facial fillers.
