Microdermabrasion
What is Microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion can assist in reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production of skin cells and collagen. It has proven to be a very popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure. It should be considered an effective exfoliation technique that also invigorates the skin to accumulate a little fluid and plump it up. Used alone its effects are temporary but good. In my clinic it is seldom used alone but usually in combination with other treatments to enhance their effectiveness particularly to help the deep penetration of other skin products or peels.
What is the procedure for Microdermabrasion? Microdermabrasion is carried out by a vacuum assisted device. The hand piece of which can either have a diamond textured surface or emit crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting in a gentle abrasion or "polishing" process. Each treatment takes from 15 to 30 minutes. The number of treatments recommended for maximal results can range between 5 and 10, spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart. Maintenance of results requires periodic repeat treatments after the initial regimen is completed.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion:
• Virtually no side effects.
• Gives the skin an overall fresh, healthy-looking glow.
• Nonsurgical, safe, effective "lunch hour" procedure.
• Effective on all skin colours and types.
• No anaesthetic required.
• Excellent for skin sensitive to chemical procedures.
• Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
Other Considerations for Microdermabrasion:
• Requires multiple sessions and maintenance treatments.
• Patients with good skin tone will show best results.
• An individualised skin care program may be recommended to maximize results.
