Microdermabrasion

A healthy, glowing skin can do wonders for your self-confidence and it can drastically enhance your looks. Many would start thinking about complicated and invasive skin therapies, but they would be glad to hear that microdermabrasion is nothing like them. Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure targeted towards removing the dead skin cells along with the outermost layer of your skin for reducing wrinkles, improving skin tone, age spots, and improving the overall appearance.

Performing microdermabrasion at Skinlattice Gurugram involves gently scrubbing your body with a specific tool. It is like scuffing off a piece of metal to retain its shine and remove rust and carbon spots. The only difference is that microdermabrasion can deliver a whole range of benefits apart from giving a renewed look to your skin.

Microdermabrasion Procedure –

Microdermabrasion starts with applying a laxative crème onto the target area of your body and then scrubbing it gently with the help of a specific tool. You may feel vibrating sensations, mild stinging, or itching during the procedure, but nothing more.

However, before opting for the microdermabrasion right away, it is best to consult dermatologists at Skilattice Gurugram and check if you really need it or not. If yes, then how many sessions are required for you to achieve desired results? Our excellent team of medical professionals will guide you about the procedure and also the precautions that you will have to take post-procedure.

In addition, you can choose from the 2 available techniques that might better suit your skin type and also deliver the results that you want.

  • Crystal Microdermabrasion – In this method, the doctor uses a tube that shoots microcrystals through a tube. These crystals are shot with a specific velocity, so they can remove the dead skin, blackheads, and other impurities simultaneously. This is quite similar to metal sandblasting, but crystal microdermabrasion is less invasive and gentler. These crystals are cleaned off after the procedure.
  • Diamond Microdermabrasion – This type of microdermabrasion utilizes a diamond-tipped rod that rotates and removes all the dead skin from your body. This diamond-tipped wand also has an in-built vacuum feature that sucks away all the debris generated from the therapy.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion – :

  • Get rid of age spots, blackheads, enlarged pores, acne scars, tanning, etc.
  • Reduces stretch marks over time.
  • Significantly reduces fine lines, wrinkles, and uneven skin tone within a couple of sessions.
  • Stimulates increased collagen production for maintaining skin laxity.
  • Gives you a more glowing, youthful appearance.

Side Effects of Microdermabrasion –

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive procedure that also does not involve using chemical-based products, needles, or topical numbing solutions. However, it is slightly abrasive, and individuals with sensitive skin may show some mild side effects such as –

  • Mild bruising that goes away within a few days after the therapy.
  • A slight discoloration in the target area.
  • Flaky or dried-up skin if not moisturized regularly.
  • Since the therapy removes the uppermost layer of the skin, your skin becomes more sensitive to direct sunlight. Therefore, wearing a sunblock with SPF30 is a must.
  • Individuals who have never gone through a skin/body therapy in their lifetime may require a couple of sessions to realize the efficacy of the treatment.
