How Microdermabrasion Works
Microdermabrasion works in two ways. It works by gently exfoliating or removing the outside layers (stratum corneum) of the skin. The abrasive action of the wand gently removes the outer surface layers, allowing smoother, fresher skin to be apparent.
The second way is that the vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic flow, increasing the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration. This helps accelerate the skins repair process and stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin thereby improving skin texture and elasticity.
Recommended Treatment: 1 treatment every 3 weeks. May be alternated with chemical peels in between microdermabrasion treatments.
Treatment Time: 30 to 60 minutes.
Recovery Time: Some swelling and redness at the treatment site may occur. This generally fades in a matter of hours.
