Non Surgical Procedure
Microdermabrasion
What to expect from Microdermabrasion surgery?
• It evens out the skin's surface that has become dry and cracked as a result of too much exposure to the sun or due to aging factors by stimulating the connective tissues.
• It eliminates the dull and faded appearance of the skin and boosts cell regeneration by increasing blood flow and oxygenation.
• It removes the wrinkles that appear due to repeated muscle contraction, such as the ones around the mouth and eyes.
• It opens blocked pores.
• It reduces the difference in the distribution of pigmentation.
Am I a good candidate for the microdermabrasion surgery?
If you have sun damaged skin, fine lines and wrinkles, pigmentation, stretch marks, you need microdermabrasion. You can determine whether you would need a one-off treatment (for a special occasion) or a specific skin condition treated, by talking to our friendly advisors and they will guide you on how you can get the best from the procedure.
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?
There is no recovery time necessary with microdermabrasion. You could easily have the procedure done in your lunch hour.
What can I expect after the microdermabrasion?
After microdermabrasion you can expect smoother skin with an improved texture and more even colour. Microdermabrasion gives skin a luminous glow, lessens the appearance of wrinkles, stimulates collagen production and promotes the growth of healthy new cells.
