If you are experiencing hyperpigmentation or a dull, uneven complexion, it may be a sign that the topmost layer of your skin has damage and is in desperate need of removal. Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment that allows us to do just that, removing the outer layer to reveal your brand new, smooth look. Target these common conditions:
Many patients are drawn to this service because of how easy the treatment process is, making it easy to work into a tight schedule.
We use a minimally invasive device to sand your skin, gently removing damaged cells and debris.
After removal, we will apply a soothing cream to your skin. This will hydrate your face and reduce any irritation from treatment.
Once your procedure is over, your skin tissue will start producing growth factors like collagen. This helps you achieve smoother, younger-looking skin.
Our online treatment planning tool provides personalized recommendations based on your goals.
Certain factors can negatively influence the effectiveness of microdermabrasion. To avoid this, we recommend avoiding sun exposure, tanning creams, waxing, and exfoliation methods in the week before your appointment.
For your appointment, please make sure your face is clean and free of any makeup or skincare products.
With proper care, you can promote healthy new skin and prolong the results from your microdermabrasion in Valparaiso. This includes keeping your skin hydrated, protecting it with broad-spectrum sunscreen, and avoiding topical acne medication for a few days.
Your skin may be sensitive after treatment. It is important that you do not pick at it, or apply harsh products as it heals.
To effectively remove your damaged cells, microdermabrasion typically removes about 20% of the top layer of your skin, similar to a chemical peel.
You may take a warm shower after your treatment. However, because your skin will be sensitive, we recommend avoiding hot showers, saunas, steam rooms, or exercise in the first 24 hours after treatment.
Many patients see noticeable improvements soon after their first session. The intensity of these results may depend on the severity of your condition, and in some cases multiple treatments are necessary to experience full benefits.
Microdermabrasion is a very similar treatment to traditional dermabrasion, but there are a few key differences.
Dermabrasion is more invasive and requires more downtime. It is used to treat deep scars and can even remove some pre-cancerous tissue.
Microdermabrasion is a much more gentle method, treating most cosmetic concerns with little to no downtime.
