In this article, our skincare experts have answered a list of Frequently Asked Questions, to provide you with a better understanding of the many advantages of microdermabrasion.

What Are Microdermabrasion Facials?

Microdermabrasion is a type of facial which unclogs pores and removes dead cells from the skin’s surface with gentle abrasion. The procedure is relaxing and painless.

Additionally, microdermabrasion repairs damaged cells and stimulates healthy circulation. And its benefits are not limited to the face. Microdermabrasion can also be performed on the neck, chest, hands, arms, and back. Depending on the bodily area, treatment times may be affected to some degree, but in general the procedure lasts about an hour.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion facials use a minimally abrasive device which sprays tiny aluminum oxide crystals across the face to gently exfoliate the rough outer layer of skin. At the same time, suctioning equipment is used to unclog pores and remove dead skin cells. This is followed by application of a customized serum containing skin nutrifying ingredients specially chosen for your unique skin type and skincare needs.

Diamond Microdermabrasion Facials are also available at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa in Clinton Twp. This type of microdermabrasion uses a specialized device which has a diamond-tipped wand. Diamond Microdermabrasion is very accurate and does not spray aluminum oxide crystals, making it perfect for refining the small, sensitive areas around the eyes and mouth.

Can Microdermabrasion Facials be Done at Home?

Home “dermabrasion kits” can be found at drug stores and online, but they will not yield professional results. Microdermabrasion facials performed by skincare professionals will go much deeper into the skin. Certified skincare technicians at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa use medical-grade microdermabrasion equipment to provide results which simply cannot be achieved with home kits.

How Often Will Microdermabrasion Facials be Necessary?

In most cases, results can be seen after the first microdermabrasion treatment. However, the total number of microdermabrasion treatments necessary for optimum results may vary by several factors. These include age, skin type, and any unique skin defects: scars, age spots, lines, and wrinkles.

Skincare professionals at Advanced Laser Skin Care & Spa can provide a complete demonstration of how microdermabrasion can be most beneficial. Treatments can be scheduled every 2 to 4 weeks.

Can Microdermabrasion Treat Other Skin Conditions?

Because microdermabrasion unclogs dirt, oil, and debris from pores as well as removing dead skin cells, it is a highly effective treatment for acne. The exfoliating benefits of microdermabrasion allow the skin to breathe as it should. This makes it excellent at preventing future breakouts.

Furthermore, microdermabrasion facials minimize the appearance of acne scars, pockmarks, and unevenness.
