Question 11

WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?

Accepted Answer

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, non-chemical, non-invasive method of skin resurfacing that utilizes fine crystals to provide effective exfoliation and rejuvenation of the superficial layers of the skin.  When a more aggressive treatment is necessary, vacuum pressure can be increased to evenly penetrate deeper layers of the skin.  Increasing the blood supply provides nutrients necessary for skin regeneration, repair, and increased cellular turnover.  In return, improving the skins’ elasticity and texture, as well as balancing the pigment.
 
How does the treatment work?
The skin is washed to remove excess oil and dirt.  Then, your Esthetician targets a stream of fine aluminum oxide crystals over the area.  The crystals abrade away old, dead skin cells, which the vacuum then picks up with gentle suction.  This promotes the growth of collagen and new, rejuvenated skin.  Moisturizers and sun block are then applied to the treated area. 
 
How many treatments are required?
Initially 5 to 6 treatments spaced 7-10 days apart are recommended for most people.  Acne scars and or discolorations may require more treatments.  Monthly maintenance treatments every 2 or 3 months can help to maintain results. However some results and overall betterskin texture can be seen after only 1 to 2 treatments.
 
Is Microdermabrasion safe?
Microdermabrasion is a safe and very common procedure.  Unlike laser resurfacing or chemical peels, this procedure is not traumatic and therefore there is no downtime to allow for healing and recovery.  But, as always, provide your full medical history and follow your pre and post-treatment instructions. 
Will there be any downtime?
One of the advantages of Microdermabrasion is that it has no downtime.  You can return to your normal routine and apply cosmetics directly after treatment. 
Who are candidates for Microdermabrasion?
The ideal candidates for microdermabrasion are healthy adults who have relatively minor skin conditions or imperfections and realistic expectations about what microdermabrasion can and cannot do.  Microdermabrasion works well for damaged skin, whether affected by acne, sun damage or aging; and skin of any type or color.
Who should avoid Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is not recommended for people who have deep scars, active keloids, undiagnosed lesions, a recent herpes outbreak, warts on the face, skin cancer, active acne (stages 3 and 4), sunburns or active rosacea, eczema, an auto-immune system disorder, or unstable diabetes.
