Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating procedure that uses tiny crystals to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells from the face, neck, chest, hands or other areas of the body. The process helps to reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines, age spots, sun damage, and other skin imperfections, as well as to improve the skin's texture and tone. During the procedure, a hand-held device sprays a fine stream of crystals onto the skin. As the crystals are gently massaged into the skin, they gently exfoliate the outermost layer of skin cells. The device also vacuums up the exfoliated material, leaving the skin feeling soft and smooth. The procedure is considered a safe and effective way to reduce the signs of ageing, improve the skin's texture and tone, and remove impurities. It can also treat acne, reduce the appearance of scars, and even improve skin tone. To know more, visit our skin care hospital in Mysore.
Pre-procedure
Pre-procedure for microdermabrasion involves the patient and medical practitioner discussing the desired outcome of the procedure. During the consultation, the practitioner will assess the patient’s skin and recommend the best treatment based on the patient’s skin type, condition, and concerns.
Before the procedure, the practitioner will typically cleanse and exfoliate the patient’s skin to remove debris or oil. The practitioner may also apply a topical anaesthetic or numbing cream to help reduce discomfort during the microdermabrasion.
The patient should avoid sun exposure, tanning beds, and waxing for at least a week before the procedure. The patient may also need to stop taking certain medications, such as aspirin or ibuprofen, to reduce the risk of bruising.
Procedure
The procedure typically begins with a consultation with a doctor or aesthetician. During this appointment, the patient will be evaluated for their skin type, and the doctor or aesthetician will determine the appropriate settings for the device.
The patient will then be asked to cleanse their face with a mild cleanser. A topical anaesthetic may be applied to the area to reduce any discomfort. The microdermabrasion device is then passed over the area in a circular motion. This exfoliates the skin and removes dead skin cells.
After the procedure, a moisturizer may be applied. It is essential to avoid direct sun exposure and to use sunscreen with at least SPF 30.
In some cases, multiple treatments may be necessary to achieve the desired results. To have more clarity, consult with our experts.
Post-procedure
Post-procedure for microdermabrasion is an integral part of the overall treatment process. After the procedure is complete, the skin should be treated with care in order to ensure optimal results. It is important to follow the post-treatment instructions provided by the practitioner to ensure the skin heals properly and the desired results are achieved.
Immediately after the procedure to reduce any discomfort, it is important to apply a moisturiser to the skin. Sun protection should also be used to protect the skin from any further damage.
It is also essential to avoid any activities that could irritate or cause trauma to the skin, such as scrubbing, picking at the skin, or taking hot showers. This could cause further damage and irritation to the skin.
In the days following the procedure, it is normal to experience some mild flaking and peeling of the skin. This is the skin’s natural healing process and is essential to allow the skin to rejuvenate itself. It is important to avoid picking at the skin or scrubbing the skin to prevent any further irritation.
