Frequently Asked Questions
Where can microdermabrasion be used?
Most common areas of treatment are the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, hands, knees and elbows.
How many treatments will I need?
Generally we recommend an initial series of 6-8 treatments at two-week intervals.
When will I see the results?
You will see some improvement in texture and colour after the first treatment but generally by the third treatment results are more noticeable.
What is a microdermabrasion procedure like?
A diamond hand piece or ultra fine uniform beads of inert corundum aluminum oxide micro crystals are propelled and re-gathered by a vacuum device then used to polish the skin surface. The crystals gently exfoliate dead skin cells of the outermost layer. After the procedure, you may experience a slight tingling and your skin may feel tighter as if exposed to the wind or sun. Also your skin may appear slightly flushed but this generally fades in 12-24 hours. Generally the face takes about 45 minutes, hands can take about 10 minutes. Since there is minimal discomfort and no healing time, one can resume normal activities immediately after a treatment.
