Minimally Invasive Procedure-Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that involves the use of a gentle, abrasive tool to exfoliate and remove the thicker, uneven outer layer of skin. This treatment provides numerous benefits for the skin.

What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive technique that involves the use of a slightly rough tool to exfoliate and polish the skin’s outermost layer, resulting in the removal of dead skin cells and improving the texture and appearance of the skin. The treatment has numerous benefits, such as addressing minor skin imperfections like scars, discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks.

What microdermabrasion can do

  • Improve age spots and blackheads
  • Improve hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin)
  • Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance
  • Lessen the appearance of stretch marks
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores
  • Treat acne and the scars left by acne

Microdermabrasion aids in increasing the thickness of collagen, leading to a more youthful appearance. When we are young, our skin has an abundance of collagen protein, which provides a tight and smooth appearance. As we age, the production of collagen decreases, resulting in sagging and uneven skin.

The Food and Drug Administration approved microdermabrasion for the first time in 1996, and since then, hundreds of devices for microdermabrasion have been developed.

The procedure can be performed in various ways, depending on the device used:

Diamond-tip handpiece

The diamond-tip handpiece is a gentle tool used to exfoliate dead skin cells from the surface of the skin. It is designed to suction off the cells immediately after exfoliation. The depth of the abrasion can be adjusted by controlling the pressure applied on the handpiece and the duration of the suction on the skin. This microdermabrasion applicator is commonly used on sensitive facial areas, such as around the eyes.

Crystal dermabrasion

Crystal microdermabrasion involves the use of a handpiece that emits fine crystals, which are gently sprayed onto the skin to exfoliate and remove the outer layers. As with diamond-tip microdermabrasion, the dead skin cells are immediately suctioned away. The crystals used for this type of microdermabrasion may include aluminum oxide and sodium bicarbonate.

Hydra dermabrasion

Hydra dermabrasion is a more recent technique that involves the use of simultaneous crystal-free exfoliation and the infusion of skincare products into the skin. This process is believed to boost collagen production and enhance blood circulation in the skin.

Summary

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic treatment that enhances the look of the skin by carefully eliminating its outermost layer. It is executed by either crystal or diamond-tip exfoliation.

A session usually lasts between 15 to 30 minutes and can be done through 1 to 10 sessions scheduled one to two weeks apart, with costs ranging from $75 to $300 per session.
