FAQ Microdermabrasion
What conditions can be treated?
Conditions such as facial lines, (especially around the eyes and mouth), hyper-pigmentation, sun damage, acne scarring and bumpy skin can all benefit from microdermabrasion treatments. Clinical trials have been done regarding the effectiveness of dermabrasion for stretch marks. Our results have found that taking the color out of stretch marks allows them to become less noticeable, though it does not eliminate the stretch marks entirely. People who have been treated for stretch marks with microdermabrasion have been very pleased with the results.
How frequently, and in what time intervals, must these treatments be provided?
Optimally, every 10-14 days to allow skin to heal. Treatments should be provided with the patients realistic outcome in mind. Because it is a cumulative treatment, normally a package of 5 or more is suggested for retainable, tangible results.
What is the average treatment time for the face?
Equipment run time is approximately 15 minutes, while a full procedure, including pre and post treatment procedures may take up to 30-45 minutes plus.
What does microdermabrasion feel like?
During the micro-dermabrasion treatment, tiny crystals are disbursed on to the skin surface than gathered via a vacuum suction process. There may be some mild discomfort, described by some as similar to an emery board against the skin. Some patients report that the experience is similar to a facial massage
How long do the results last?
Typically, the microdermabrasion results last a few months depending on the individual and condition.
What are the risks of microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is safe. There may be facial redness for about an hour after the procedure but no recovery time is required.
