How is it done?

  • After scheduling an appointment with your specialist and medical consultation, your concern is understood.(Also any prior cosmetic procedures and allergies are to be told if asked by your specialist)
  • You might be advised by your specialist to stop using creams ( exfoliative), waxing, from three days to a week before treatment. This may be recommended to improve the effectiveness of the procedure.
  • On the day of treatment removal and cleansing of any makeup before the procedure begins
  • No numbing cream or anesthesia is required as microdermabrasion is a very gentle procedure.
  • A specialized instrument is used to spray the exfoliative agent usually fine crystals of aluminum oxide (crystal microdermabrasion) but also diamond tip hand-piece or a water combined agent (hydradermabrasion).
  • After spraying in the targeted areas, the exfoliative agent is then peeled off (suctioned off) using  a suction immediately to give you rejuvenated and healthy skin
  • A moisturizer and sunscreen are applied after the suctioning is done.

How long is the procedure?

 Minimal time.

   The actual procedure of spraying and exfoliating takes only about 15-30 minutes depending on the target area. With the preparation time ( sitting in a reclining chair etc.)  followed by the application of moisturizer and sunscreen you will be done in around 40 mins. 

 

Microdermabrasion aftercare?

    As soon as the procedure is over normal activities can be resumed. As it works on a surface level there is little to no downtime.

The only precaution to be followed is to use moisturizer as there may be dry skin due to suctioning (4-6 days) and use of sunscreen every time you go out for at least a week as the new layer of skin might be susceptible to sun damage.
