Microdermal Abrasion

Microdermal Abrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks. Microdermal Abrasion can improve age spots and black heads. It is one of the more recent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood to the mainstream. It’s being advanced as an “instant facelift” — an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like Plastic surgery, Chemical peels and Botox injections. Recently, more and more men are trying it, instead of pursuing cosmetic surgery. Microdermal Abrasion is a general term for the application of tiny rough grains to buff away the surface layer of skin. It’s usually done to the face, chest, neck, arms or hands.

How Does It Work?

The aesthetician chooses the grade of peeling individually for your skin. Miniscule micro crystals are responsible for the perfection of the peeling. The proper selection of crystals guarantees the gentleness of the treatment. Crystals are brought onto the skin surface by means of a special hand piece and remove all irregularities from the upper skin layers. Results: Immediately but best results can be seen from 2 to 12 sittings.

How Often Do You Need To Get This Done?

Microdermal Abrasion can be done as frequently as weekly or up to every eight weeks depending on your skin’s tolerance and desired cosmetic effects. Many people choose to start with weekly treatments for three sessions, then change to a monthly maintenance regimen.
