Frequently Asked Questions

 

 

 Who can benefit from Microdermabrasion?

 

Skin that is aging, congested, flaky, dry, devitalized, thickened, blemished, dull and sun damaged can be rejuvenated and refreshed. Blotchiness, uneven skin tones and texture will also be improved. Even normal skin can be made to look fresher with a warm glow.

 

How often are the treatments given?

 

Microdermabrasion requires a series of treatments. While results are achieved with a single treatment, it is an unrealistic to expect significant results from a single treatment. Cumulative results can be significant with as little as 6 to 10 treatments repeated one to two weeks apart. Monthly maintenance treatments are recommended.

The number of treatments depends on the type of skin problem the client has.

 

What areas can be treated?

 

The most common areas that are treated are the face and neck. In addition we can treat the chest, shoulders, back, hands, knees and elbows. Any area of the body can be treated.

 

Why does the skin benefit from Microdermabrasion?

 

Approximately every 28 days we create a new layer of skin. As new cells form they push their way to the surface and then dead cells settle on the surface. This can cause enlarged pores, clogged pores, a bumpy uneven texture, and a dull appearance. As we age this process slows down leading to the appearance of older skin with less radiance.

 

Are there any side effects from the treatment?

 

Since we are only treating the outer layer, called the stratum corneum, serious side effects is not a problem. Non-invasive and non-wounding to the skin’s surface, microdermabrasion has no discomfort, down time or recovery. Clients typically experience some redness for about an hour after the procedure. Healing time for most is a day or two.

 

What can I expect after my first treatment?

 

Though microdermabrasion requires a series of treatments, you can see a visible improvement in the treated skin after the first treatment. Some clients experience a tightness and redness of the skin, comparing it to the feeling of mild sunburn. To restore and maintain a youthful glow after your Microdermabrasion treatment I recommend a proper customized daily skin care regime by Austin Molnar's skin care line.
