Microdermabrasion
What
is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion
is a skin restoration process utilizing a controlled vacuum and fine aluminum
oxide crystals to gently clear away dead and sun damaged skin cells revealing
softer, smoother and more vibrant looking skin. By repeating this treatment
over the course of several weeks, the younger, softer skin moves up to
the surface. The desired effect of significant texture and color improvements
will continue with time. Microdermabrasion is the safest alternative to
laser resurfacing and chemical peels with absolutely no downtime. A cleansing
toner is first applied to the skin to remove excess oils for better application
and penetration. The machine then delivers fine, sanitary aluminum oxide
crystals or to the face that "sand blasts" away dead skin and impurities.
Afterwards a soothing toner is applied to the face and then a re-hydrating
cream and sun block are applied.
What
are the benefits?
Microdermabrasion
has been medically proven for simple and painless treatments of many skin
conditions. Microdermabrasion activates the collagen fibers in the skin
through increased stimulation and circulation therefore enhancing skin
appearance and texture. The thorough exfoliation improves and lightens
hyperpigmentation (brown spots), helps rid skin of fine lines, improves
the appearance of acne scarred skin, aids with the treatment of acne,
and improves the appearance of new "pink" stretch marks. After a revitalizing
microdermabrasion treatment the rejuvenated skin is visibly more healthy
and vibrant.
How
often can treatments be performed?
ELASER
CLINIC specializes in custom tailoring our clients individual skin care
needs. Although there are immediate benefits after one microdermabrasion
treatment, for optimum results we recommend a series of six to twelve
treatments.
How
much time is needed for each treatment?
On
average, the client will spend twenty to forty five minutes in treatment.
How
soon will the results be visible?
Results
will be noticed immediately but because every individual's skin is different
the visible improvements will vary.
Is
it painful?
Our
client's comfort is the top priority at ELASER CLINIC. Generally speaking,
Microdermabrasion is not painful and requires no topical anesthesia. Your
skin may feel a little hot and appear a little pink for the first day.
