Microdermabrasion
Using original diamond tipped technology, that gently removes dead skin cells, stimulates cell turnover and promotes the production of collagen and elastin. Treatments for face, neck, chest and other body areas can be done as a standalone service or added to any facial service. Perfect to prepare your skin for further facial treatments and will help in better skincare product penetration.
BEFORE YOUR TREATMENT
Pre-Care Tips:
- Limit exposure to direct sunlight or tanning beds at least one week before your microdermabrasion treatment. Sunburned or overly sun-exposed skin can be more sensitive during the procedure.
- Stop using any retinoid-containing skincare products, such as retinol or tretinoin, for a few days before your microdermabrasion session. These products can increase skin sensitivity.
- Let your skincare provider know about any medications you are currently taking, including topical or oral medications. Some medications may affect your skin’s response to microdermabrasion.
- Refrain from waxing or using depilatory creams on the treatment area at least a week before your session. These hair removal methods can irritate the skin, and microdermabrasion may be uncomfortable on freshly waxed skin.
- Keep your skin well-hydrated by moisturizing regularly in the days leading up to your microdermabrasion appointment. Hydrated skin responds better to the treatment and heals more quickly.
- Avoid using abrasive exfoliants or scrubs in the week before microdermabrasion. Over-exfoliation can make your skin more sensitive, and the treatment itself provides thorough exfoliation.
- Drink plenty of water to keep your skin hydrated from within. Hydration is key to achieving optimal results and minimizing potential side effects.
- Refrain from at-home microdermabrasion kits or aggressive skincare treatments in the days leading up to your professional session. Over-treating your skin may increase the risk of irritation.
- Steer clear of chemical peels, especially strong or harsh ones, in the week preceding your microdermabrasion appointment. Combining these treatments may lead to excessive skin sensitivity.
- On the day of your microdermabrasion, arrive with clean, makeup-free skin. This ensures that the treatment area is free of any residues, allowing for a more effective and comfortable session.
