Everything You Need to Know About Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular cosmetic skincare treatments available – but what exactly is microdermabrasion? What does it do and how does it help improve skin appearance?
To help you decide whether this incredible facial treatment will benefit you, we’ve put together all of the most commonly asked questions about microdermabrasion.
What is diamond microdermabrasion?
Simply put, diamond microdermabrasion treatments are a non-invasive, non-chemical and deeply exfoliating treatment which works to remove dead surface skin from your face, neck and décolletage.
Both men and women have praised this treatment as it’s easy, pain free and delivers visible results.
What is involved with the treatment?
The treatment involves using a variable flow of vacuum suction (to maintain contact with your skin) whilst diamond tips (or crystals) work to buffer and smooth the skin’s surface.
What will it do for my skin?
Overall, diamond microdermabrasion can provide a number of benefits for your skin, and can banish common skin problems such as:
- Enlarged or clogged pores
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Uneven pigmentation
- Dry skin
- Excessively oily skin
- Mild acne scars
It’s the perfect facial treatment to refresh and decongest your skin, as well as improve its overall texture. It also helps to boost collagen production, which helps to firm and tone your complexion.
Is microdermabrasion suitable for all skin types?
There are very few people who wouldn’t benefit from this facial treatment, as it help address a range of skin problems. Microdermabrasion is generally safe for all skin types, and can be used on both men and women aged 12 to 65+.
Microdermabrasion is not recommended to those who suffer from skin conditions such as eczema, rosacea, lupus or open wounds.
How long does the treatment take?
You can expect your microdermabrasion treatment to take around 45 minutes. This will allow enough time to treat the face, neck and décolletage. You can pop in for the treatment on your lunch break, and not have to worry about going back to work with red raw cheeks!
What does it feel like?
As a non-invasive, non-chemical procedure, there is no pain! The sensation of the treatment will vary from person to person – while some describe the feeling as “mild scratching”, others have referred to the feeling as “a windy day at the beach”.
You can expect to feel comfortable throughout the entire treatment, with perhaps even a satisfying sensation of feeling buffed, polished and left with clean, glowing skin.
How often should it be done?
With reparative microdermabrasion treatments, we recommend a session every 10 – 14 days. For maintenance purposes, we recommend every 4 weeks.
