Microdermabrasion: A gentle treatment to renew the skin's surface
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that removes the outer layer of skin. It is often used to improve the appearance of your skin that is affected by sun damage, wrinkles, acne scars and other skin conditions.
How does microdermabrasion work?
Using a special applicator with a rough surface, the top layer of skin is gently "abraded". This process removes dead skin cells and ensures a fresher, more radiant complexion.
What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Minimises the appearance of acne scars
- Clears the pores
- Helps with hyperpigmentation
Is microdermabrasion right for you?
It is generally safe for most skin types, but it is important that you consult a dermatologist or qualified skincare professional to determine if it is suitable for your specific skin concerns. Possible side effects: Although it is generally mild, some people may experience redness, dryness or mild irritation after treatment. These side effects usually subside within a few days.
Aftercare:
Following your skincare professional's aftercare instructions is crucial for optimal results and to minimise discomfort. Common aftercare recommendations include:
- Avoidance of solar radiation
- Use of gentle cleansing and moisturising creams
- Daily application of sun cream
- Avoid products with aggressive skin
How much does microdermabrasion cost?
The cost of microdermabrasion depends on the extent of the treatment. This depends on the areas of the body on the one hand and on your individual skin condition on the other. As a rule, the cost of a single treatment per area is around EUR 35.
Which areas of the body can be treated with microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion can be used on various areas of the body to improve the appearance of the skin. The most common areas are the face, neck, décolleté, hands and back. Microdermabrasion can also help with stretch marks, cellulite or ingrown hairs by removing dead skin cells and promoting skin regeneration.
How often should you do microdermabrasion?
The number of sessions required depends on the individual skin condition and the desired results, but generally 4 to 6 treatments are recommended, spaced 2 to 4 weeks apart.
What do you look like after microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion generally leaves skin smoother, more radiant and younger looking. The results are visible immediately, but can improve over time as the skin produces new cells and stimulates collagen.
The skin may be slightly reddened or swollen after the treatment, but these effects usually subside within a few hours. Some people also experience a slight feeling of tightness or slight flaking, which also disappears quickly.
To maintain the benefits of microdermabrasion, you should moisturise your skin well and protect it from sunlight.
