What is Particulate Skin Resurfacing ?
Microdermabrasion is performed with no pre medication and requires no anesthesia. The procedure is done using a precision hand piece that directs a stream of very fine crystals which gently removes the outermost layers of the skin.
The doctor controls the power of the spray, performing a gentle removal of the skin to a deeper exfoliation where ever needed. At a low power, Microdermabrasion might be compared to results similar to those of glycolic acid peels. A full-face treatment generally takes 20 to 30 minutes.
What results can you expect ?
Following the treatment, your skin appears lightly pink, but there is no obvious redness. Some patients say their face feels as if their skin has been mildly sun-burned. The skin may peel to reveal a more softer smoother and younger looking skin. The number of treatments depends on the skin condition. Usually 4 to 12 treatments are required at least once in every 2 weeks. A maintenance treatment of one sitting every 30 - 45 days will give a sustained beautiful blemishless skin.
In the case of a deeper treatment level for more blemished or thicker skins, the skin will appear slightly red and swollen for a few hours to a few days.
Similar to a light glycolic peel, the procedure can improve fine lines and wrinkles, blackheads and whiteheads (pimples), superficial darkening pigmentation, and will give the skin a healthy-looking glow. It may be used in combination with Glycolic chemical peel for scar correction.
