Microdermabrasion enhances your facial appearance by giving you fresh, healthy, and hydrated skin. Aging, pregnancy, genetics, sun damage, and other changes can affect the skin and cause multiple problems like fine lines, wrinkles, aging, acne, stretch marks, scars, loose skin, etc. This FDA-approved procedure sands the skin to give a youthful glow and suppleness while effectively promoting skin bio-revitalization.
This blog discusses all about microdermabrasion in Dubai which provides a quick solution for numerous skin problems.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating skin procedure that scrubs and peels off the uneven outer layer of dead cells and other skin imperfections. A new layer with healthy cells resurfaces, revealing a creamy, soft, and smooth appearance.
The scrubbing causes injury to the cells and stimulates their healing. Moreover, it promotes collagen and elastin synthesis, which promotes skin elasticity, giving you taut and plump skin with a better complexion.
Although microdermabrasion provides instant rejuvenated skin, it requires around 6-10 sessions to get the desired results. That said, your skin condition and end goal will decide how many sessions are actually required.
There are three types of microdermabrasion treatments, depending on the instrument used.
• Diamond microdermabrasion: This procedure uses a diamond-tip handpiece to exfoliate dead cells while simultaneously suctioning the dead cells. It is usually used for sensitive areas, such as the region close to the eyes.
• Crystal microdermabrasion: It uses a crystal-emitting wand that gently sprays out fine crystals on your skin that help removes the outer skin layer and suctions dead cells simultaneously. The crystals used are aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate.
• Hydradermabrasion: It is the latest method that also uses a hand-held device and uses crystal-free exfoliation and product infusion into the skin. It exfoliates the skin while also boosting collagen and blood flow to the skin.
What to Expect?
According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, patients can expect the following benefits from this mildly abrasive procedure.
• Improved skin's texture and tone
• Reduced scars and pigmentation
• Smoothened fine lines and wrinkles
• Bright skin
• Reduced age spots
• Eliminated acne and congestion
• Plump skin with improved skin's elasticity
Microdermabrasion Procedure
Microdermabrasion is performed as a quick outpatient procedure that takes around 30 minutes. The treatment doesn’t require any anesthesia.
Consultation
Your Provider will first examine your skin condition. After making a treatment plan, he or she will guide you with the procedure and the care you need for the best results.
Procedure
Your Practitioner will begin by prepping your skin with cleansing and numbing cream if you are sensitive to pain. It is important to note that the procedure only gives a tingling sensation and is not that much painful. It involves a hand-held device that moves in to-and-fro motion on your skin while scrubbing the epidermis and suctioning the dead cells immediately.
Once the procedure is done, a moisturizer and SPF are applied to the skin to provide enough hydration and protection from UV rays.
What Does Recovery Look Like?
Microdermabrasion provides instant results with quick recovery. The patient may feel redness, tenderness, discomfort, or slight swelling following the procedure. However, it goes away on its own in a few days.
Make sure to keep your skin moisturized and buff with SPF. Also, stay away from harsh chemicals, saunas, and sun baths.
