At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, we offer microdermabrasion, a minimally invasive cosmetic skin rejuvenation procedure that aims to foster a more youthful, smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking complexion. Numerous skin disorders can be effectively treated with this method, including sun damage, discoloration, light scarring, and signs of aging like wrinkles and fine lines.
Our professionals delicately remove the skin’s outer layer using a specialized applicator with an abrasive surface, which encourages the formation of collagen and elastin and leads to better skin.
Undergoing microdermabrasion offers numerous benefits:
● Smoother and brighter complexion
● Diminished visibility of wrinkles and fine lines
● Improved skin texture
● Minimization of sun damage and hyperpigmentation
● Enhanced absorption of skincare products
Microdermabrasion encourages the skin to increase collagen production and elasticity, essential for maintaining the skin’s youthful glow and firmness. It also enhances the skin’s ability to absorb high-quality skincare products, thereby maximizing their effectiveness.
Clients are able to resume their normal activities right after following the procedure because there is no downtime required for the treatment. This makes our microdermabrasion service a popular choice for individuals seeking a quick, effective boost to their skin’s health and appearance.
Although microdermabrasion is typically regarded as safe for the majority of skin colors and types, we always recommend a consultation with our professionals before undergoing any new skin treatment.
The appearance of wrinkles and fine lines can be significantly reduced using microdermabrasion. By removing sun-damaged skin cells, the treatment gives your skin a smoother texture and promotes the production of new cells.
If you’re struggling with hyperpigmentation, uneven skin tone caused by sun damage or aging, microdermabrasion can help to lighten dark spots. By removing pigmented cells, the process makes the skin’s color more consistent.
Our clients frequently suffer from acne and acne scarring, and microdermabrasion is an effective solution. Through skin exfoliation and pore unclogging, this treatment can reduce the occurrence of acne breakouts and encourage the development of fresh, healthy skin to lessen the visibility of acne scars.
Microdermabrasion is also beneficial for those struggling with dull, dry, or oily skin. Exfoliation leaves skin smoother and more moisturized by removing dead skin cells and encouraging cell turnover. Microdermabrasion can help people with oily skin by absorbing extra oil and making pores look smaller.
Age spots or sun-damaged skin are also effectively treated with microdermabrasion. The procedure helps to remove damaged skin cells, promoting the growth of new cells and ultimately reducing the appearance of these spots.
We are aware that each person’s skin is different, and the results of microdermabrasion can vary. It’s important to consult with our skin care professionals at DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa to talk about whether this treatment is the best choice for you.
Our trained skincare professionals often recommend microdermabrasion for those with non-sensitive, non-inflammatory acne-prone skin, such as normal, oily, combination, or dry skin that is not excessively flaky.
Despite its general safety, we recognize that microdermabrasion may not be suitable for all clients. Our team takes extra precautions with individuals who have sensitive skin, active acne, rosacea, eczema or psoriasis, open wounds or skin infections, or sunburned skin. Individuals who have already had keloid scarring or darker skin tones, or who have recently taken isotretinoin for severe acne, may also need to approach this treatment with caution due to potential skin sensitivity and risks.
Although microdermabrasion is generally well-tolerated, we want to ensure our clients are aware of potential side effects, which may include temporary redness and irritation, mild crusting and peeling, temporary hyperpigmentation, and in rare cases, scarring.
Before you decide on microdermabrasion, we encourage a consultation with our dermatologist or trained skincare professional. They will examine your medical history, evaluate the state of your skin, and advise you on the best line of action. To find out how sensitive your skin is to the process, a patch test could also be done.
Microdermabrasion is a generally safe treatment for many skin types, but depending on each person’s unique skin type and condition, its applicability may change. We consider your individual skin characteristics and potential risks before recommending any skincare treatment. Our first goals are your happiness and safety and we are here to guide you towards the best skincare solutions for you.
Every client’s skin is unique, and the optimal number of microdermabrasion sessions needed to achieve the best results can vary greatly, depending on factors such as skin type, age, condition, and desired results.
Our expert team will ensure you see visible improvements after just one or two sessions. However, for more substantial and lasting results, we often recommend a series of treatments. Typically, around 4-6 sessions spaced about 2-4 weeks apart yield the most dramatic improvement in skin tone, texture, and color, while also providing the skin time to heal and regenerate.
A gentler method or fewer treatments can be necessary for sensitive skin, while skin conditions like acne or hyperpigmentation may benefit from more sessions. The desired results also influence the number of sessions. Superficial improvements usually require fewer treatments, while deeper results may necessitate more.
Once we have achieved the results you desire, we recommend maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks. This regimen will maintain the appearance of your skin and prevent dullness or skin imperfections from recurring.
At DermaStar Skin and Laser Medical Spa, we will evaluate your skin condition, talk about the results you hope to achieve, and recommend a personalized treatment plan to ensure optimum results.
