What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment which targets dead skin cells, and build-up under the skin. Microdermabrasion removes the outermost layer of skin, and corrects irregularities, strengthens, and brightens.
What does microdermabrasion help with?
Microdermabrasion is not only an excellent maintenance treatment for normal skin to remove impurities. This service is also a fantastic non-invasive treatment option for acne prone skins and can help fight the signs of premature ageing. Some of our favourite skin concerns to target include:
- Blackheads, whiteheads & enlarged pores
- Acne prone skin
- Fine line & wrinkles
- Mild acne & acne scars
- Dull-looking skin complexions
- Uneven skin tone and texture
- Sun damage
How often should I have microdermabrasion?
The frequency of a microdermabrasion depends on your skin type, concerns, and what your Beauty Therapist suggests will be best for you. Microdermabrasion is a safe and gentle enough treatment to have done regularly. A microdermabrasion treatment can be done weekly or even every 4-8 weeks. If you’re unsure how often you should come in, ask your Beauty Therapist for their expert advice! On average, it takes between six to twelve sessions to see top results from a micro.
What aftercare should I follow?
To maintain results between sessions, follow a good skin care regime. It is especially important to apply a rich moisturizer after a microdermabrasion session as this will cut peeling.
Your skin will be sensitive after a treatment and will be especially vulnerable to the sun. With this in mind, the following tips will help you protect your skin and allow it to heal quicker:
- Gently cleanse your face after a treatment
- Follow with a rich moisturizer, and apply as needed throughout the day if your skin feels tight
- Avoid direct sunlight for several days after treatment as your skin will be fragile
- Wear sunscreen every time you go out as microdermabrasion increases photosensitivity
- Keep your skin hydrated by drinking adequate amounts of water each day
- Do not pick or scratch at your skin
Are there different types of microdermabrasion?
There sure is! Some of the most popular services include the classic microdermabrasion, hydrodermabrasion, 6-step microderm express and so much more! It is important to remember that not all salons offer all services. To check if your local salon offers this service, see their online booking pricelist, or give them a call today.
