Microdermabrasion

How does it work and who is it for?

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that gently exfoliates the top layer of skin (stratum corneum) using a specialized instrument.

This instrument typically uses a diamond-tipped wand or a stream of fine crystals to remove dead skin cells and reveal a smoother, brighter complexion.

The procedure also stimulates collagen production, which can improve skin texture and elasticity over time.

Microdermabrasion is suitable for individuals looking to improve the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, mild acne scars, sun damage, and uneven skin tone. It's generally not recommended for people with active acne breakouts, rosacea, eczema, open wounds, or sunburned skin. Benefits include:

Improved skin texture and tone

Reduced appearance of fine lines and wrinkles

Minimised pores

Diminished acne scars and hyperpigmentation

Microdermabrasion Services:

Acne

Microdermabrasion can be beneficial for mild to moderate acne by unclogging pores and removing dead skin cells that can contribute to breakouts.

By exfoliating the skin's surface, it helps to prevent the buildup of sebum and debris, reducing the likelihood of future acne formation.

However, it is not recommended for severe or cystic acne, as the procedure can irritate inflamed skin.

Acne Scar Removal

Microdermabrasion can help reduce the appearance of mild acne scars by gradually smoothing the skin's surface.

The exfoliation process removes the top layer of damaged skin, which can make shallow scars less noticeable.

While it may not completely eliminate deeper scars, it can significantly improve their texture and appearance over multiple sessions.

Pigmentation

Microdermabrasion can be effective in reducing hyperpigmentation, such as sun spots, age spots, and melasma.

By removing the superficial layer of skin containing excess melanin (the pigment responsible for skin color), microdermabrasion can lighten these dark spots and create a more even skin tone.

Multiple sessions are usually required for optimal results.

Your Questions Answered

Is Microdermabrasion painful?

Microdermabrasion is generally not considered painful, although some patients may experience a mild scratching or tingling sensation during the procedure. The level of discomfort is usually minimal and well-tolerated.

The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on the patient's sensitivity. After the treatment, the skin may feel slightly tight or dry, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically subsides within a few hours.

How many Microdermabrasion treatments are needed to see results?

While some patients may notice an immediate improvement in skin texture and brightness after just one treatment, a series of treatments is typically recommended for optimal results, especially for addressing concerns like acne scars or hyperpigmentation. A series of 6-12 treatments, spaced 1-4 weeks apart, is common.

The exact number of treatments will depend on individual skin concerns and goals. Maintenance treatments may also be recommended to sustain the results over time.
