Microdermabrasion is a light cosmetic procedure, a non surgical skin-conditioning that improves your skin’s appearance. It mechanically removes the superficial layers of dead cells from the epidermis to produce a rejuvenated skin. It is a very mild treatment.
What areas can be treated with it?
It can treat fine lines around the eyes and lips. Even acne scars can be drastically reduced removing Microdermabrasion. It is also helpful is removing blackheads and whiteheads.
What the treatment includes?
In Microdermabrasion crystals or diamond flakes are used for exfoliating the surface of the skin. A suction device is used to clean out pores, to remove clogging and brings out the underlying debris to the surface of the skin. With the help of suction blood comes to the surface of the skin which increases the level of oxygenated blood in the dermis. This speeds up the natural production of the proteins like collagen, elastin and fibroblast cells in the skin which in turn helps in regeneration.
It is an outpatient procedure with no recovery time. Patients can resume to their work immediately after it. One has to undergo the 4 to 6 treatments after the interval of 2 to 4 weeks to get optimal results. This treatment brings back your soft and smooth skin.
At GB Medicals we use microdermabrasion with a chemical peel, especially for those with aged or acne prone skin. Microdermabrasion removes the dead skin blocking pores thus increasing the penetration of active products.
