Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure. Microdermabrasion is an amazing technique to resurface the skin by removing the thicker, uneven outer layer of skin and promoting the growth of new, healthy cells. It improves your skin’s appearance by minimizing pores, fine lines, acne scars, age spots, and sun damage.
The skin’s repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles. Microdermabrasion reduces fine lines, wrinkles, improved skin tone and texture, and softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. This procedure improves the appearance of uneven skin tone, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks. At the Golden Pulse Laser Clinic in Richmond Hill, we offer high-quality Microdermabrasion treatment provided by highly skilled and trained technicians with years of experience.
What does microdermabrasion do for your face?
Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure to improve your skin’s appearance. The microdermabrasion technique is a physical treatment using an abrasive instrument to gently remove the dead, thicker, uneven outer layer of skin. And as the result, it speeds up your face skin rejuvenation process and treats light scarring, discoloration, and sun damage.
How long will microdermabrasion last?
The effects of the microdermabrasion treatment usually last for about three to five weeks. For most people, it is recommended to repeat the treatment every month; however, the result varies based on your age, skin type, and the level of post-treatment care.
Which treatment is better chemical peel or microdermabrasion?
In most cases, we recommend chemical peel treatments to our clients with active acne, because microdermabrasion on sensitive skin can irritate the skin or even cause some issues. Chemical peels are not a physical abrasion process, and they use acidic solutions to treat the skin. Microdermabrasion treatment could be a better choice for skins with light wrinkles, sun damage, or a thick layer of dead skin.
Which is better microdermabrasion or Microneedling?
Microneedling is a procedure to puncture the skin with small needles to stimulate collagen production. Automated micrneedling is an innovation in the skincare industry for the treatment of the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, and the improvement of the skin’s texture, tone, and color.
After microneedling treatment, the skin repair process results in a thicker epidermis with a softer appearance of wrinkles. Microneedles create micro-channels that allow topical gels, creams, and serums to be absorbed more effectively, enhancing the effects in deeper layers of the skin. Reduction in the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, improved skin tone and texture, and softer, younger-looking skin with fewer signs of aging. This procedure improves the appearance of uneven skin tone, acne scars, traumatic scars, and stretch marks.
Although, microdermabrasion and microneedling can be used for similar skin conditions they work with different techniques to treat the skin. Microneedling is generally more effective on deeper skin imperfections where microdermabrasion works at the top layer of skin.
