Microdermabrasion - gentle skin renewal for a fine complexion
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that gently removes dead skin cells from the upper layer of the skin. It is often used to refine the appearance of your skin. Abrasion helps with sun damage, small wrinkles, improves the appearance of minor scars (e.g. acne scars) and also helps with blemished and acne-prone skin.
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. Pores are no longer clogged by the dead skin cells. This has the advantage of reducing blemishes and spots and also refines the pores. In addition, active ingredients can then be better absorbed by the skin.
What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?
- Reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles
- Improves skin texture and tone
- Reduces the appearance of acne scars
- Refines the pores
- Helps with hyperpigmentation
- Prevents skin impurities
Is microdermabrasion right for you?
Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types. However, an individual skin analysis should always be carried out beforehand to clarify whether another treatment might be more suitable in your case.
Possible side effects such as redness, dryness or slight irritation usually subside within a few days.
Aftercare:
After microdermabrasion, you should not expect any restrictions. Nevertheless, a few points should be noted:
- Avoid direct sunlight for approx. 4 weeks
- Use gentle cleansing and moisturising creams
- Daily application of sun cream (recommended SFP 50+)
- Avoid products with aggressive active ingredients
How much does microdermabrasion cost?
The cost of microdermabrasion depends on the extent of the treatment. This depends on the areas of the body treated and your individual skin condition. It starts at 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. For a particularly beautiful result, 4 to 6 treatments are recommended at intervals of 2 to 4 weeks.
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 regenerates new cells through stimulated collagen synthesis.
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 get the benefits of microdermabrasion, you should keep your skin well moisturised and protect it from the sun all year round.
