Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that resurfaces the upper layers of the skin, using diamonds to exfoliate the skin while a microvaccum removes dead cells. It creates micro-lesions between the epidermis and dermis that encourage damaged cells and tissues to regenerate. The result is a new layer of younger, brighter, firmer skin. An excellent treatment for a healthier, brighter complexion.
In fact, the first layers of the skin, made up of the epidermis and a thin film of dead skin, protect the lower layers from environmental aggression. These layers are gradually renewed over the years, but with less and less effectiveness. It is the accumulation of these skin layers that encourages the appearance of imperfections. The micro-lesions caused by microdermabrasion force the activation of cell renewal and, consequently, the creation of a new film.
We can treat the face, neck, chest, back and hands, with the face being the most popular.
Microdermabrasion can help you with :
Initial consultation
Before starting treatment, a consultation with a skin care professional is essential to assess your skin and determine whether Microdermabrasion is right for you.
Principle of action
The treatment removes the top layer of dead skin cells, accelerating the production of new skin cells and promoting the growth of collagen and elastin. It diminishes the appearance of acne scars and fine lines, and improves skin texture and color. Revealing a more youthful appearance.
It’s a relatively painless procedure, suitable for all skin types and agendas, as its benefits are immediate, allowing you to return to your daily routine immediately after the session.
Microdermabrasion is performed under steam, with a diamond-tipped pencil applied to the surface of the skin. Using an up-and-down, left-to-right motion, the technician scrapes away the layer of dead skin from the treated area, which is then instantly sucked away by our device.
Treatment begins with skin cleansing. Two to three passes of a Diamond pen are made to dislodge dead cells, with particular attention paid to areas requiring deep exfoliation. Microdermabrasion is comparable to the sensation of sand being projected onto the skin, combined with a suction effect. To conclude, the technician performs a face-lift massage and applies a moisturizing mask. As an option, LED light therapy can further enhance results, guaranteeing a multidimensional approach to skin renewal.
Treatment duration
The complete facial treatment lasts approx. 80 min.
Various factors will determine the number of treatments and the intervals at which they are required. For optimum results, we recommend a monthly session to target specific problems, with a follow-up treatment once a season to promote ongoing skin health and regeneration.
Post-processing
Using specific topical products to moisturize and protect the skin, as well as avoiding direct sun exposure and harsh products for a few days after treatment. In addition, maintaining a regular skin care routine, including gentle exfoliation and moisturizing, can prolong and enhance the results of diamond microdermabrasion.
Is microdermabrasion right for everyone?
The short answer is no. Although microdermabrasion is highly effective and suitable for many people, it is not recommended for everyone. People with deep scars, lesions, skin cancer, advanced acne, active rosacea and autoimmune system disorders should avoid this type of treatment and seek an alternative.
