Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions. Acne scars and enlarged pores may become less noticeable, and acne breakouts may be reduced.

Procedure

The skin therapist sprays or rubs fine crystals onto the skin with a wand that gently exfoliates the surface, removing the top layer. The aim is to make the skin appear younger.

Most people request microdermabrasion to rejuvenate the complexion of the face and neck, but a skin therapist can perform the procedure on any area of skin.

Uses and benefits

The goal of microdermabrasion is to make a person’s complexion smoother, brighter, and more even in colour.

People often request microdermabrasion to address:

  • Dullness in the complexion
  • Uneven skin tone- Uneven skin texture
  • Age spots
  • Dark spots that can form after acne clears up
  • Melasma, a common issue that forms dark spots or patches on the skin
  • Scars
Risks and side effects of Microdermabrasion

People who have taken the acne medicine e.g Roaccutane in the past 6 months may need to wait before having microdermabrasion. They have an increased risk of complications such as scarring.

What to expect after a Microdermabrasion procedure
  • Skin swelling
  • Skin redness, similar to sunburn
  • Bruising
  • a Burning or stinging sensation
  • Increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight

After the procedure, use sun protection. This will help to ensure the best results and reduce the risk of side effects. Microdermabrasion may not be suitable for people who scar easily or have cold sore breakouts.
