When you hear the term microdermabrasion, what comes to mind? If you haven’t had the opportunity to have a treatment, the whole experience may seem foreign and sometimes even intimidating. Will it damage my skin? What is the process? Will it really make a difference? At the Berlet Plastic Surgery Spa, this month you will have the opportunity to find out the skin brightening benefits at a special Holiday rate.
A less aggressive approach than dermabrasion, a microdermabrasion treatment makes use of a minimally abrasive instrument to gently resurface the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. Microdermabrasion treatments are an ideal non-surgical way to freshen and rejuvenate the skin on your face. Microdermabrasion is used to treat light scarring, discoloration and sun damage, and can be used to lessen the appearance of stretch marks, among other conditions. The technique also helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion.
What Can I Expect?
Each treatment will last approximately fifty minutes. You may feel a mild stretching as the procedure removes the superficial skin cells. Additionally, you’ll notice a vibrating sensation akin to a massage. The suction mechanism lifts the dead skin from the surface. A hand-held device uses microparticles to slough off the top layer (epidermis) of your skin and stimulate new skin growth. Afterwards, your healthcare provider may recommend a special moisturizer or facial product to enhance and prolong your result. There is no down time or recovery period. Expect a brighter, more youthful complexion to be revealed after the layers of dead skin are removed.
