The Microdermabrasion Procedure
When it comes to the microdermabrasion procedure, it begins with the application of a mild cleanser by the skilled individual administering the treatment. To protect the eyes from the abrasive crystals used during the process, a gauze is carefully placed. The hand-held device’s tip is then brought into contact with the skin, and the vacuum gently pulls the targeted section into its opening.
Next, the controlled rate of the device guides the abrasive crystals to brush against the surface of the skin. During a single treatment, the device is passed over the predetermined treatment area three times, ensuring thorough coverage and effectiveness.
Once the microdermabrasion process is complete, any remaining debris is wiped away using a soft washcloth. To further enhance the results and promote skin hydration, a moisturizer is delicately applied by the technician.
Longevity of Results
To achieve optimal results, it is typically recommended that clients undergo multiple microdermabrasion treatments. The frequency of these treatments can vary, with some individuals opting for weekly sessions, while others may choose to space them out every other week or on a monthly basis. In certain cases, up to 16 treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired outcome.
It is important to note that the results obtained from microdermabrasion are not permanent, as the natural aging process of the skin continues. However, the longevity of these results can be extended by adopting certain measures to protect and maintain the skin’s health. One crucial step is to actively shield the skin from sun exposure, as harmful UV rays can accelerate the aging process and diminish the effects of the treatment. Additionally, following a skincare routine recommended by a dermatologist or skincare professional can further enhance the longevity of the results.
