Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing technique that involves the use of a handheld device to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin. The device typically uses fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the skin, while simultaneously suctioning away the dead skin cells and debris. This process stimulates collagen production and promotes cell turnover, resulting in a smoother, more youthful-looking complexion.

An hour or so is often required for the in-office technique known as microdermabrasion. Usually, a licensed skin care specialist does it, and she or he may or may not be supervised by a medical practitioner. Your state will determine how to proceed with this. For microdermabrasion, anesthetic or a numbing medication is not required. You will be seated on a reclining recliner for the duration of your appointment. In the targeted locations, your physician will use a portable equipment to shave off the outer layer of skin or lightly spray the particles. Your skin will be treated with sunscreen and a moisturizer at the conclusion of the procedure.

People can have treatments weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly, depending on their skin type and the reason for treatment. Most people request microdermabrasion to rejuvenate the complexion of the face and neck, but a specialist can perform the procedure on any area of skin.
