What is the microdermabrasion procedure?
The Dermaglide microdermabrasion system uses a mix of gentle abrasion with suction to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells. A fine spray of specially formulated sodium bicarbonate (baking soda) crystals are propelled at a high speed across the skin's surface to efficiently abrade and exfoliate the skin, while vacuum suction removes the crystals and the dead skin cells. The vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation increasing the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration. It also stimulates formation of new collagen and elastin to improve skin texture and elasticity. The combination of exfoliation and increased blood flow leaves you with healthier, smoother and more youthful looking skin.
Microdermabrasion is a progressive, non-invasive method of skin exfoliation that revitalizes the skin, erases fine lines and wrinkles, and reduces large pores, hyper pigmentation, acne scars, stretch marks and age spots.
The Dermaglide microdermabrasion procedure is the most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate and improve the texture of the skin. This cosmetic procedure is an exfoliation process that rejuvenates and restores a natural glow to the skin, stimulates cell renewal and increases production of collagen.
How much penetration is possible?
The depth of treatment is determined by the speed of movement of the hand piece against the skin. The slower the hand piece passes over the skin the deeper the results.
What should the client experience after treatment?
The patient's skin may feel tight as if it had been exposed to sun or wind. The skin should be well moisturized with proper products and a strong sunscreen, 30 SPF or higher. Some patients may develop slight redness and mild swelling, especially after a deeper treatment. Depending on the skin's sensitivity this redness may last from a few hours to a few days.
