Are you looking for skin rejuvenating techniques in Kitchener-Waterloo?
Microdermabrasion is the latest trend in town. It is a popular non-invasive cosmetic procedure that rejuvenates the skin, enhances its texture, and improves the overall texture and appearance.
In this blog, we will be exploring more about this treatment and how Sunshine Cosmetic Clinic & Medi Spa can help you get amazing results.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion (a skin resurfacing technique) exfoliates the outermost layer of dead skin cells.
During this process, our experts at Sunshine Cosmetic Clinic & Medi Spa stimulate your natural collagen production, improve blood circulation, and promote the growth of new, healthy skin cells.
After this procedure, you are likely to have smoother and more radiant skin.
Types of Microdermabrasion
- Crystal Microdermabrasion: During this process, we use a wand that emits fine crystals, such as aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate, to exfoliate the skin. Then, these crystals are suctioned away along with the dead skin cells of your skin.
- Diamond-tip Microdermabrasion: For this process, we use a diamond-tipped wand to scrape the skin. While scraping, we ensure that the dead skin cells are vacuumed thoroughly.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
- Improved Skin Texture and Tone: The process can smooth out rough patches on your skin, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and even out your skin tone.
- Reduced Pore Size: Our experts ensure the dead skin cells and debris buildup on your skin are thoroughly removed.
- Diminished Hyperpigmentation: During this process, our practitioners try their best to lighten your dark spots and improve the appearance of sun damage and age spots on your skin.
- Acne and Acne Scar Reduction: We ensure that your pores are unclogged and scars are reduced.
- Enhanced Product Absorption: After the procedure, your skin can become more receptive to skincare products! This will allow for better absorption and effectiveness.
What Is the Procedure of Microdermabrasion?
Our microdermabrasion procedure in Kitchener-Waterloo is relatively quick and straightforward! They typically last between 30 minutes and an hour and are dependent on the area being treated.
Here is a step-by-step overview of what you can expect during the treatment
- Consultation: The first step to our professional care is a consultation with a skincare professional to discuss your skin concerns and goals.
Our professionals will assess your skin type and determine if microdermabrasion is suitable for you or not.
- Preparation: Next, our practitioners will thoroughly clean your skin and remove residues of makeup, oils, and impurities.
- Exfoliation: This is the most crucial step of the procedure. During this step, the chosen microdermabrasion device (crystal or diamond-tip) will be passed over your skin in a controlled manner, exfoliating the outer layer of dead skin cells.
- Suction: This is a part of the exfoliation process; while exfoliating, we simultaneously suction away the dead skin cells and debris on your skin.
- Post-Treatment Care: After the procedure, we apply a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen to your skin to protect the newly exfoliated skin.
4 Things To Remember Post-Treatment
- Moisturize Regularly: We recommend you keep your skin hydrated with a gentle, non-comedogenic moisturizer.
- Avoid Sun Exposure: Your skin will be more sensitive to the sun after microdermabrasion. So, apply a broad-spectrum sunscreen with an SPF of at least 30 and avoid long sun exposure.
- Avoid Harsh Products: You must avoid harsh skincare products, such as retinoids or exfoliants, for a few days after the treatment.
- Stay Hydrated: Do not forget to drink plenty of water to help keep your skin hydrated from the inside out.
3 Treatments To Opt For Along With Microdermabrasion At Sunshine Cosmetic Clinic & Medi Spa
- Chemical Peels: We recommend a combination of microdermabrasion and a chemical peel for deeper exfoliation and more dramatic results.
- Facials: We often ask our patients to combine microdermabrasion with facial treatment to enhance the benefits of both procedures.
- Laser Treatments: Our experts often advise clients to pair microdermabrasion with laser treatments to address specific skin concerns, such as pigmentation and texture irregularities.
