Microdermabrasion Facial (60 minutes)

The microdermabrasion facial includes cleansing, toning, deep exfoliation, a beautiful masque, your choice of massage (hand, arm, or scalp), serum and moisturizer with an SPF to protect your skin. If needed, an eye cream can be applied after the moisturizer to hydrate the under eye area. Microdermabrasion is a skin care technique used to exfoliate and remove excess, dead or dry layers of the skin from the face.

Patients with fine lines, large pores and differences in pigmentation can see certain benefits from a full facial microdermabrasion procedure. It is beneficial for all age groups and greatly helps with the overall look and appearance of skin.

Microdermabrasion can be combined with other skin care procedures, or be effective on its own. The treatments are most effective in a series, over the span of a few weeks. However a single treatment can make a noticeable difference as well.

How Often Should I Get A Microdermabrasion Facial?

Different people have different skin care needs. Some may be able to go for months with the effects of a microdermabrasion treatment still visible. Others may need to spend more time working on their complexion.

The results of a microdermabrasion treatment can last 1-2 months, and can be done as frequently as every week. For maximum results microdermabrasion can be done multiple times in a series of visits.

The results from frequent microdermabrasion treatments become more vivid over time. Individuals can drastically improve their complexions with a commitment to these proper skin care routines.

What to Expect After Microdermabrasion

The first few hours after microdermabrasion, the face can be red, from the treatment. A soothing gel like aloe vera can be applied to improve the sensation immediately after the procedure.

You will soon notice that your face feels more smooth, blackheads will be removed and pores will be minimized. For maximal results it is recommended that you avoid makeup for 24h after, so the skin has time to fully experience the effects of the microdermabrasion treatment.

In order to maintain your newly exfoliated skin, be sure to ask your spa technician about things you can do at home, to ensure your skin stays fresh between treatments.

What Ages Benefit Most from Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion can benefit all age groups, in different ways. In teenagers and young adults, microdermabrasion helps with preventing acne and acne scars.

It works to clarify the layer of skin beneath the surface, keeping acne causing bacteria away from pores, and resurfacing skin to reduce scarring.

In women with fine lines, microdermabrasion can help rejuvenate the skin. Microdermabrasion works well for older, more mature skin. Older skin may have build up from years of accumulating, dead skin cells.

This can cause it to look ruddy or rough in texture. Microdermabrasion can effectively reveal the fresh, younger skin underneath. It is not effective for deep wrinkles or loose skin, however it makes a long lasting and visible difference.

The microdermabrasion facial includes cleanse,  deep exfoliation, a beautiful masque, your choice of massage (hand, arm, or scalp), and moisturizer with an SPF to protect your skin.

While you will see results with one service, Microdermabrasion is best done in a series of 3 or 6 weekly treatments. Talk to your esthetician about purchasing a series at lower cost than individual services.
