Microdermabrasion is something that you
hear about a lot.. but does it really work and if so how?
What is it?
Microdermabrasion means the abrasion of
the skin with the use of small “grains”. These can vary but most commonly used
is a type of fine crystal. When carried out in a professional salon the machine
used has a head that applies the crystals and also a vacuum to remove the
crystals at the same time.
So.. will this damage the skin? NO not if carried out correctly.
The skin has many layers and all we
need to remove is the top layer:The Stratum Corneum. This is a thin layer that
can make the skin look dull and lifeless and also block pores.
Microdermabrasion has two main effects
on the skin:
Research has shown that by having
weekly treatments over a period of time can increase the healing and repairing
of the cells and therefore improving scar tissue and imperfections.
If you have any of these concerns
Microdermabrasion is for you!
The treatment:
Your therapist will discuss the
treatment and whether a course of treatments is required.
You will have your skin cleansed and
then the Microdermabrasion will start.
The therapist will check the sensation
with you as this shouldn't be painful just a little rough feeling.
This abrasion part will take about 15
minutes then a moisturising and hydrating product should be applied to
counteract the drying effects.
You may be red after. This is a good
thing. The redness may take from 2 hours to 2 days to clear depending on our
skin sensitivity.
Your skin will feel very smooth, have a
gorgeous glow and continue to look great for a while after!
Ladies..This is perfect for an instant
glow for that special occasion!
Men...Think of a cut a polish for your
skin!
