This needling action basically triggers the skin’s healing response, which prompts the skin to heal and create new collagen and elastin to form, while helping breakdown the old collagen.  

The tiny skin perforations also cause the increased absorption of the skin-enriching products which we use during the micro-needling skin treatment

As a result your skin will be more plump, and you will face the world looking refreshed and radiant.

CHEMICAL SKIN PEELS, HOW DO THEY WORK?

There are many benefits tied to a professional chemical peel including the improvement of your overall skin health.

A chemical peel helps your skin combat aging by removing the dead outer layers of the skin, revealing the fresh, new skin below. Removing this upper dead layer of skin also allows your skin to absorb more nutrients from the products you use. 

 

With these extra nutrients, your damaged skin can repair itself back to its natural glow. A chemical peel also helps fight the effects of the sun and outdoor elements that cause skin damage.

MICRO-DERMABRASION FACIAL

What Is A Microdermabrasion Facial? 

  • The word may sound scary, but the procedure isn’t. Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-invasive procedure that removes fine lines, evens skin pigmentation, and stimulates skin renewal. 

  • Your skin is made up of 2 primary layers: the dermis and the epidermis. The dermis is the deeper layer where your hair follicles and sweat and oil glands are located. The epidermis lies above the dermis, in order to protect it. The very top part of the epidermis is really dead skin cells. This is the layer that we treat with microdermabrasion. 

  • This signature treatment is best for those looking to get the glow back to their skin and is the best maintenance facial for those in their 30’s and 40’s. It is also great for acne-prone and oily skin types. 

What to expect from your Micro-dermabrasion treatment

If you are planning to book your first microdermabrasion treatment, here’s what to expect during your treatment: 

  • The procedure generally takes 30 minutes, during which you will feel some scratching and vibrating as the uppermost layer of the epidermis is buffed away. 
  • You may experience some redness immediately following the treatment (you may look like you just left the gym). 
  • Your skin may be more sensitive to the sun, so make sure to wear plenty of sunscreen. 

How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion uses either small crystalline particles or diamond-coated paddles to remove or exfoliate the top layer of dead cells. Just like sandpaper smooths wood’s surface, these particles remove the uppermost layer of the skin epidermis. 

This exfoliation action stimulates your body’s natural healing process. For skin, this means that your body will make more collagen and better-hydrated cells, to rise to the surface. This will give your skin improved texture and elasticity. 

Microdermabrasion devices generally have a built-in vacuum that removes the dead cells (and leftover abrasive particles) so that treatment won’t clog pores. Sometimes microdermabrasion is combined with other facial treatments like chemical peels to maximize the benefits of the facial treatment. 

If you are considering microdermabrasion,  contact us here at Advanced Electrolysis Clinic and we will be happy to go through the treatment process with you.  While most people are good candidates for the treatment, there are a few conditions that may delay microdermabrasion treatment.

Micro-Peel FAQ

What is the difference between Microdermabrasion & a Chemical skin peel?

Your skin may appear pink for a few hours following treatment. Professional micro-peel exfoliation helps stimulate collagen production in your skin, helping the skin to appear softer and smoother, even after just one treatment at Advanced Electrolysis Clinic. After your treatment, Your makeup will apply smoother and the products  you use at home will become more effective because they will be able penetrate deeper layers of the living skin instead of sitting on top of dead skin.
