Microdermabrasion: Refresh and Renew Your Skin
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating treatment designed to reveal a smoother, brighter complexion by removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells. At Accent Aesthetics, our microdermabrasion treatment uses an advanced device with an abraded wand and adjustable suction to resurface the skin gently but effectively.
This treatment is ideal for reducing the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, large pores, and even acne scars. With regular sessions, microdermabrasion can improve skin texture, boost radiance, and enhance the effectiveness of your daily skincare products.
MICRODERMABRASION?
Microdermabrasion works by using a diamond-tipped wand and suction to exfoliate the top layer of the epidermis, effectively removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover. This process not only helps improve skin texture but also allows active skincare ingredients to penetrate more deeply into the skin, maximizing their benefits. This gentle exfoliation can be adjusted to suit your skin type, making it suitable for a wide range of skin concerns.
After a microdermabrasion facial, you may experience mild redness and minor peeling that typically subsides within 24 hours. For the best results, we recommend scheduling a series of 3 to 6 treatments, allowing you to see cumulative improvements in your skin’s clarity, smoothness, and overall health.
OF MICRODERMABRASION
Reduces Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Microdermabrasion minimizes fine lines and wrinkles by gently exfoliating dead skin cells and stimulating collagen production. This leads to a smoother, firmer skin surface, providing a youthful and refreshed appearance.
Diminishes Hyperpigmentation & Sun Damage
Hyperpigmentation, sun spots, and discoloration are common skin concerns, particularly as we age. Microdermabrasion works to lighten these spots, evening out the skin tone and restoring a more uniform complexion. Consistent treatments can significantly reduce visible discolorations.
Improves Skin Texture & Reduces Pore Size
This treatment is effective at smoothing rough skin textures and minimizing large pores. The exfoliation removes excess sebum, dirt, and debris from the skin, making it ideal for those with oily or congested skin types.
Enhances Skincare Product Absorption
By removing the layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion improves the penetration and effectiveness of your skincare products. With each treatment, serums, moisturizers, and other skincare products can reach deeper layers, delivering enhanced results.
Reduces Acne Scars and Marks
Microdermabrasion can help diminish the appearance of mild acne scars by smoothing the skin’s texture and promoting new cell growth. Over time, this treatment can create a more even surface, reducing the visibility of shallow scars and imperfections.
While both microdermabrasion and dermaplaning are effective exfoliating treatments, they use different methods and offer distinct benefits. Here’s a quick comparison to help you understand which treatment might be best suited for you:
- Exfoliation Technique: Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand and suction to remove dead skin cells, while dermaplaning uses a sterile surgical blade to exfoliate the skin and remove fine vellus hair, or “peach fuzz.”
- Suitability for Skin Types: Microdermabrasion is excellent for those looking to address fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, and enlarged pores. Dermaplaning, on the other hand, is suitable for most skin types (except for inflamed acne) and is ideal for creating a smooth surface for makeup application.
- Additional Benefits: Dermaplaning removes peach fuzz in addition to dead skin cells, which can enhance the appearance of makeup and improve skin texture. Microdermabrasion focuses on exfoliating and resurfacing the skin but does not remove vellus hair.
Both treatments provide unique benefits, and choosing between them depends on your specific skin concerns and aesthetic goals. Our aestheticians can help you determine which treatment, or combination of treatments, will best meet your needs.
A typical microdermabrasion session takes about 30 to 45 minutes and involves minimal discomfort. During the procedure, the abraded wand and suction gently glide over the skin, removing the dead cells and impurities. Post-treatment, you may notice mild redness and slight peeling, which usually resolves within a day. Your aesthetician will provide you with post-care instructions to ensure optimal results.
Regular sessions every few weeks can help maintain your results and keep your skin looking healthy, smooth, and radiant. Our team at Accent Aesthetics will work with you to create a treatment plan tailored to your unique skin needs and goals.
