Microdermabrasion is a great option for most skin types and a safe more advanced treatment during pregnancy. People with active acne, taking or using acne medication, using retinol or retinoids should practice caution with this treatment and seek advice from their esthetician.
Preparation:
-
Avoid sun exposure and tanning cream for about a week prior to treatment
-
Avoid exfoliating products, such as, scrubs, AHA + BHA (serums, moisturizers and masks) and retinol approximately 3 days before scheduled appointment
-
Stop topical acne medication two weeks prior
-
Drink lots of water to aid in the skin’s hydration (will help during the extraction process)
-
Keep skin nourished and hydrated
-
Avoid irritating products that disrupt the skin’s barrier function
What can be expected after treatment:
Improved texture and tone resulting in brighter smoother skin. There is no downtime associated with this treatment so you will be able to resume normal daily activities without worry. It is recommended that you keep the skin hydrated and use gentle care products to avoid disrupting the barrier function of the skin. SPF usage is a must! To protect that beautiful freshly exfoliated skin.
Things to avoid after treatment: topical acne medication for 3-5 days after treatment and sun exposure (your skin will be more light sensitive)
Treatment Recommendations:
The number of treatments you will need depends on what your personal skin care goal is. One treatment will leave the skin instantly smoother and brighter. If you are looking to address a specific skin care concern, such as, pigmentation, scarring, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores etc. a series of treatments is recommended, as results are cumulative. Generally, 6 to 10 treatments scheduled 7 to 14 days apart is recommended when addressing concerns, but will vary depending on the individual.
INTENTION: SMOOTH SKIN TEXTURE & EVEN TONE
A minimally invasive skin care treatment that renews the tone and texture of the skin. During the treatment we use a lightly abrasive diamond tip to evenly exfoliate the skin’s surface layer to help with fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scarring and dullness resulting in brighter, smoother, more even-toned skin.
