Microdermabrasion Facial Perth

Microdermabrasion facials can be tailored to suit individual skin types and concerns. The intensity of the treatment can be adjusted based on the patient’s specific needs. A series of sessions is often recommended to achieve optimal results, with treatments typically spaced several weeks apart.

Regular maintenance sessions can also be scheduled to sustain the improved skin texture and appearance.

Following a microdermabrasion facial, it’s crucial to follow the post-treatment care instructions provided by the practitioner. This often includes using gentle skincare products, avoiding sun exposure, and applying moisturisers to keep the skin hydrated.

Proper aftercare ensures that the skin heals effectively and reduces the risk of any potential side effects.

During a microdermabrasion facial, a handheld device is used to exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin, known as the stratum corneum. This exfoliation process is typically done using fine crystals or a diamond-tipped wand, which gently abrade the skin’s surface, simultaneously exfoliating the skin and suctions away the removed dead cells.

A typical microdermabrasion face treatment takes between 20 and 30 minutes. However, if you want your neck or other parts of your body treated, it may take up to an hour.

Your specialist will give you an idea of the number of microdermabrasion treatments needed for best results. Major changes become visible after the fifth session, even though patients have said they observed improvements after their second. Generally, six to eight microdermabrasion treatments, scheduled around two to three weeks apart are recommended, which allows the skin time to recover between sessions.

You may have to schedule another treatment once every two or three months to maintain the effects.

Microdermabrasion treatments are virtually painless. Some patients have reported itchiness or stinginess when the microcrystals come in contact with their skin. You may feel some discomfort around the eyes, but your skin gets used to the sensation as the treatment progresses.

No pre-medication is needed, but you may be advised to stop using some medications that may increase the risk of major bleeding, such as Retin-A, Renova, Differin, or glycolic acid products. You should not have any waxing, laser treatments, or excessive sun exposure at least a week prior to treatment.

There is virtually no downtime after a microdermabrasion facial, and you can return to work as soon as your facial is finished. If your skin looks red, similar to a mild sunburn, you can cover it with light makeup.
