Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a lighter form of dermabrasion known as the “lunchtime facial”, and removes only the topmost layer of skin to reveal fresh skin underneath. While microdermabrasion may not produce the dramatic results of laser resurfacing, there is no recovery time after the microdermabrasion procedure. Microdermabrasion is an effective and modern type of medium depth mechanical peel that restores the lost freshness and elasticity of the skin due to factors such as age, excessive exposure to sun or acne.

It is a non-invasive and painless technique. You will feel a pleasant tickling during the treatment. It does not irritate the skin. By the end of each session you will see a considerable improvement in your skin's condition. A modern technique this technique consists in treating the skin with a device that has rotating tips embedded with small diamonds. The tip is connected to a noiseless electric engine that generates suction for removing the dead skin cells through a flexible tube. The tips are interchangeable, with diamonds of different sizes, so the dermatologist may choose the adequate roughness grade for each case

Microdermabrasion has been proven to be among the most popular non surgical cosmetic procedures chosen by patients. The American Academy of Facial Plastic Surgery states that 817,000 patients underwent microdermabrasion in 2006, making it the fourth most popular among non-surgical cosmetic procedures.

How is microdermabrasion done?


Instead of a small grinding tool, the surgeon uses an instrument that uses a blast of sterile grit and a vacuum in a closed loop system to remove the first layer of skin. Sometimes known as the “lunchtime” peel because a treatment can be completed in half an hour, microdermabrasion is done more quickly but does not produce effects that last as long as other dermabrasion. The patient can usually return to her regular activities more quickly. Microdermabrasion does not require either a local or general anesthesia. Most patients say microdermabrasion feels like an emery board or sandpaper rubbing on their skin.

Microdermabrasion is usually used for hyperpigmentation, some stretch marks, uneven skin tone, reducing the dullness of aging skin and smoothing out fine wrinkle lines. It is not used for keloidal scaring, jagged ice-pick scars, skin cancers or skin growths.



How long is the recovery period from microdermabrasion?
