Microdermabrasion Fremont CA

What is Microdermabrasion? What does Microdermabrasion do? What are the types of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is mechanical exfoliation in which the uppermost layer of dead skin cells are removed. There are two techniques of performing microdermabrasion – crystal and diamond-tip.

Crystal microdermabrasion uses a wand to both spray and vacuum up minute aluminum oxide crystals.

Diamond-tip microdermabrasion achieves the same results with less discomfort and without the crystal residue at the end of the treatment.

At Beauology we use the diamond-tip technique for Microdermabrasion in Fremont CA.

Is Microdermabrasion safe? Are there any Microdermabrasion risks?

Microdermabrasion must not be confused with Dermabrasion. Dermabrasion is done in the doctor’s office and may involve anesthesia.

What is Microdermabrasion good for?

Microdermabrasion is easiest and most effective anti-aging treatments. It softens fine lines and wrinkles, helps to smooth coarsely textured skin, decreases the appearance of scarring, decreases pore size, and reduces superficial hyper-pigmentation, also known as age spots.

Microdermabrasion makes high-tech skin care products penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance.

How often should Microdermabrasion be done?

For the best results we recommended a series of microdermabrasion treatments based on your skin type and condition. A typical protocal is six treatments about 10 to 14 days apart.

With Microdermabrasion there is less down time than with dermabrasion. Skin is temporarily pink but fully recovers within 24 hours.

Does Microdermabrasion hurt?

Crystal microdermabrasion can be uncomfortable, especially around the sensitive tissue of the mouth and nose, but it should not be painful.

Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses similar vacuum technology and hand-held wand as crystal microdermabrasion, but there aren’t any crystals moving through the tip. The diamond tip itself exfoliates the skin and the vacuum whisks the dead skin away. The diamond tips of the wand vary in shape and roughness. The esthetician chooses the right tip for your skin type and condition.

Diamond-tip microdermabrasion is much less uncomfortable and achieves the same results.
