What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the outer layer of the skin using fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand. This gentle exfoliation removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates collagen production, promoting the growth of healthy, new skin cells.
At Glo Skin & Medspa in Edmonton, we use advanced diamond microdermabrasion technology to provide precise and effective treatments. Unlike at-home microdermabrasion devices, professional treatments offer deeper exfoliation and more noticeable results, leaving your skin feeling smooth and refreshed.
How Does Microdermabrasion Work?
The treatment begins with a thorough cleansing of your skin. A specialized device is then used to gently exfoliate the surface layer of your skin, removing impurities and stimulating circulation. The process is safe, quick, and painless, making it a popular choice for those seeking radiant skin without downtime.
Each session typically lasts 30–60 minutes, depending on the treatment area. Afterwards, you may experience mild redness, which subsides within a few hours, revealing a brighter and smoother complexion.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion offers numerous benefits for individuals looking to improve their skin’s appearance and health. Here are some of the key advantages:
- Improves Skin Texture and Tone: Microdermabrasion helps smooth rough patches and uneven skin tone caused by sun damage, aging, or acne. The gentle exfoliation reveals a more even and glowing complexion.
- Reduces Fine Lines and Wrinkles: By stimulating collagen production, microdermabrasion can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, leaving your skin looking plumper and more youthful.
- Minimizes Acne Scars: Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for mild acne scars, helping to fade their appearance over time. It also unclogs pores, reducing the likelihood of future breakouts.
- Brightens Skin: Exfoliating dead skin cells enhances your skin’s natural radiance, giving you a fresh and healthy glow.
- Prepares Skin for Other Treatments: Microdermabrasion can improve the absorption of skincare products, making it an excellent first step before other treatments like chemical peels or facials.
