What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion or particle skin resurfacing is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that uses a highly controlled spray of fine aluminum oxide crystals to remove the outer layer of skin and reveal a younger, tighter and more radiant skin underneath.
Procedure of Microdermabrasion
The microdermabrasion technique abrades the skin using a high-pressure flow of crystals. This is an effective treatment for fine wrinkles, enlarged pores, aging changes and superficial scars with minimum risk and rapid recovery.
Microdermabrasion makes your skin thicker and healthier. Multiple treatments are beneficial as they encourage the production of higher levels of collagen and elastin which are essential for healthy glowing skin. It further improves your complexion and the overall appearance of your skin.
A series of 5-12 treatments are required to achieve good results. The treatment can be significantly longer in cases of acne scars. Initial treatments are scheduled weekly or biweekly followed by monthly to biannually for maintenance therapy. This technique should not be considered during concomitant use of Accutane (isotretinoin), active herpes infection, malignant skin tumors, and certain keratoses.
