After Care

To understand why the treatment is so effective we must first understand how our skin works. Your skin is the largest organ on your body, some 22 square fee,t made up of several different components, including water, protein, lipids, and different minerals and chemicals. If you’re average, your skin weighs about eight pounds. It’s job is crucial: to protect you from infections and germs. Throughout your life, your skin will change constantly, for better or worse. In fact, your skin will regenerate itself approximately every 27 days. Proper skin care is essential to maintaining the health and vitality of this protective organ. When your skin regenerates the dead cells remain on the skin surface and if not removed properly will cause skin irritation and skin issues such as acne, dry skin etc etc. One of the best ways to ‘Exfoliate’ your skin is a Medical Microdermabrasion.

TREATMENT

The Microdermabrasion equipment uses a specially-designed hand piece to allow micro-fine crystals to pass over the skin. As the crystals make contact, they actually remove a very thin layer of the outer skin (stratum corneum). The hand piece then vacuums off the dead skin and crystal particles. The procedure exfoliates the dry, dull skin, while stimulating circulation and collagen production. Each treatment removes the dead skin cells that accumulate over time, depending on the condition of your skin from weather and sun damage and the amount of dead cells. The depth of treatment is determined by the trained operator and controlled through the speed of the hand piece, crystal flow and the number of passes. Since each treatment is customized, patients can be treated at their own comfort levels.
