Facials are a incredibly popular treatment within the beauty industry and with so many options on the market it can sometime be a really hard decision as to what will work for you.
Well let me introduce you to microdermabrasion. This amazing facial treatment is perfect for most skin types as the benefits are fantastic.
The first question I am always asked is what exactly is microdermabrasion (microderm)? Well simply put it is a facial treatment that removes the top dead layer of skin but gently exfoliating the skin with the use of a exfoliating wand placed over the skin in small short strokes.
Who can have this treatment? Most people can have this treatment however ladies who are pregnant, those taking certain medicines or people undergoing cancer treatments or who have had recent Botox, filler or chemical treatments must either wait for a number of weeks or refrain from the treatment all together.
What are the benefits? The benefits of this treatment are extensive. Microderm can help to reduce fine lines & wrinkles, even out skin tone, reduce and help prevent age spots, treat sun damaged skin, reduce acne & acne scars, smooth the skin, removes both black & white heads, tightens skin & shrinks pores & brightens the skin.
What do I have to do after the treatment? Your skin after the treatment will be more sensitive then before due to it being a new skin layer. Your skin should be protected by applying an SPF, directly after the treatment you should avoid using any make-up and avoid having a hot shower. You should avoid for 72 hours using any skincare products that contain and acid such as glycolic acid.
How often should I have a treatment? As with any skincare treatment consistency is key, so a course of microderm would be best. But the frequency of these treatments is totally dependent on your skins health and all of this would be discussed at your initial consultation.
Hopefully this amazing treatment is now a lot clearer and now you can really see the benefits of it.
