Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that involves using a specialized device to exfoliate and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells from the face. The procedure can improve the texture and appearance of the skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize the appearance of acne scars and sun damage.
During the procedure, a handheld device with a diamond tip or a stream of fine crystals is used to remove the outer layer of the skin. The device also vacuums up the removed skin cells and debris, leaving the skin smoother and brighter.
Microdermabrasion is a safe and relatively gentle procedure, and most people experience little to no discomfort during the treatment. However, it is not recommended for people with active acne or rosacea, as the treatment can aggravate these conditions.
The number of microdermabrasion sessions required depends on the individual's skin type and concerns. Generally, multiple treatments are required to achieve optimal results. It is important to choose a reputable and experienced skincare professional to perform the procedure and to follow post-treatment care instructions carefully to avoid complications and ensure optimal healing.
