What conditions can be treated?
Conditions such as facial lines (especially around the eyes and mouth), hyperpigmentation, sun damage, acne scarring and uneven texture can all benefit from microdermabrasion treatments.
What is involved in a treatment?
After a thorough facial cleansing, the microdermabrasion hand piece (with a specifically designed sterilizable tip), is precisely moved along the surface of the skin, exfoliating the dead skin cells and helping to even out imperfections. After the face and neck have been exfoliated fully, the areas in need of more work can be given additional passes.
Are there any special precautions needed before or after a treatment?
Always follow the Rule of Three: No Retinoid/Retinol or AHA usage for 3 days before the treatment, and for at least 3 days afterward. Additionally, maintaining healthy skin through proper care, healthy diet and skin supplements is essential for good skin.
What about special care after the treatment?
Advanced healing products for home care to support the office treatments should be used to enhance and maintain results.
Will one treatment work or will I need more?
While you may see visible results after the first treatment, lasting and more significant results are obtained through a series of 4-8 or more treatments. The number of treatments is dependent upon the condition being treated.
How often does the treatment need to be repeated?
This depends on the condition and personal desires of the patient because treatments may be repeated as often as every 7- 1 0 days.
What will my skin look like after a treatment?
The skin will have a warm, pink glow that will diminish over the next 24 hours and will appear healthier.
Will there be any pain or is anesthesia required?
Treatments are generally not uncomfortable and no anesthesia is required. |
