MICRODERMABRASION
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure. The specialist sprays or rubs fine crystals onto the skin with a wand that gently exfoliates the surface, removing the top layer. The aim is to make the skin appear younger.
The procedure should not be painful. It takes 30-40 minutes for the face and 20 minutes for the neck. Before seeing reduced signs of aging, a person may require between 5-8 treatments from a skin care specialist.
People can have treatments weekly, every 2 weeks, or monthly, depending on their skin type and the reason for treatment.
Most people request microdermabrasion to rejuvenate the complexion of the face and neck, but the specialist can perform the procedure on any area of skin.
