MIcrodermabrasion
Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a handheld wand with a diamond-encrusted tip to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. This technique effectively removes dead skin cells, dirt, and debris, revealing smoother and more radiant skin underneath.
WHAT IS THE HEALING PROCESS LIKE?
The healing process after microdermabrasion is typically mild and quick. Immediately after treatment, you may experience slight redness and sensitivity, similar to a mild sunburn, which usually resolves within a few hours. It’s important to keep your skin hydrated and protected from sun exposure in the days following treatment. Avoid using harsh skincare products and follow any post-care instructions provided by your skincare professional. Most people can resume normal activities immediately after microdermabrasion with minimal downtime, enjoying smoother and refreshed skin as a result of the procedure.
During this time, it’s important to avoid picking at your skin, use sunscreen to protect against UV exposure.
