Microdermabrasion The Procedure

Your skin will first be prepared and thoroughly cleansed. No anesthesia is necessary. The microdermabrasion machine gently exfoliates your skin with a precise stream of crystals directed onto the skin’s surface using a hand piece. The machine’s pressure will be adjusted for your comfort. The sloughed off skin cells and left over crystals are then suctioned off to reveal a fresh, new skin surface. The benefit from your microdermabrasion treatment is usually immediately obvious. However, optimal results will not be visible until all the recommended treatments have been completed. Rehydrating skin products will be applied to your skin prior to leaving the treatment office.

A course of treatments can yield better results. It is safe to have microdermabrasion every week and between five and 10 sessions are recommended.
