Microdermabrasion
60 min
Diamond Head Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture; giving a fresher, younger-looking glow. A diamond-tipped microdermabrasion wand gently abrades the skin, removing the dead, damaged surface layer. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions. After the treatment, a moisturizing mask, serums and soothing moisturizers are applied to hydrate and soothe your skin.
Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors.
People might choose to get the procedure if they have the following skin concerns:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- hyperpigmentation, age spots and brown spots
- enlarged pores and blackheads
- acne and acne scars
- stretch marks
- dull-looking skin complexion
- uneven skin tone and texture
- melasma
- sun damage
You can expect to see noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The number of microdermabrasion sessions needed will depend on the severity of your skin concerns as well as your expectations.
Pre-Treatment Tips:
Try to avoid sun exposure, tanning creams, and waxing for about a week before treatment. Stop using exfoliating creams and masks approximately 3 days prior to treatment.
Post-Treatment Tips:
Use a moisturizer to minimize dry and flaky skin. Minor bruising may also occur. This is mostly caused by the suction process during the treatment. Keep your skin hydrated and use gentle skin care products. Avoid using topical acne medications for at least one day after treatment. It’s extremely important to protect your skin with sunscreen. Your skin can be more sensitive to the sun in the few weeks after the treatment.
