Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a popular, non-surgical skin care service designed to smooth and improve the complexion of the skin. This minimally invasive procedure works by exfoliating the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing the healthier, more vibrant skin beneath. The treatment can be applied to a variety of areas including the face, neck, chest, and hands. Using a specialized device, microdermabrasion gently sands away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it.

Microdermabrasion is suitable for individuals looking to enhance their skin’s appearance, particularly those with dull skin, age spots, dark spots, or mild acne scars. The results of microdermabrasion can be seen shortly after the first session, with more significant improvements noticeable after multiple treatments. Typically, the skin’s improved appearance from microdermabrasion lasts for a few months, and maintaining regular treatments can help extend these effects. If you are seeking a safe and effective way to refresh your skin, consider booking a microdermabrasion appointment with Grossman | Capraro Plastic Surgery to achieve a clearer and more radiant complexion.

Frequently Asked Questions

Who is a good candidate for microdermabrasion?

Initial improvements are often visible after just one microdermabrasion session. For more substantial results, a series of treatments, typically spaced four to six weeks apart, is recommended.

How long do results from microdermabrasion last?

The results from microdermabrasion can last for several months, depending on the individual’s skin type and care routine. Regular sessions are suggested to maintain the skin’s improved appearance.

Microdermabrasion typically has no downtime, allowing patients to return to their daily activities immediately. Minor side effects might include slight redness and tenderness, which generally subside within a few hours.

What should I do before and after microdermabrasion treatment?

Before undergoing microdermabrasion, it’s advisable to avoid sun exposure, waxing, and tanning treatments to keep the skin calm. Post-treatment, patients should hydrate their skin well and use gentle, non-irritating products while avoiding direct sunlight.

What can I expect during a microdermabrasion treatment?

During a microdermabrasion treatment, patients will experience a mild scraping sensation as the device exfoliates the skin. The procedure is generally pain-free and lasts about 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treated area.
