Microdermabrasion

Have sun exposure, hormones, and the natural aging process has taken a toll on your skin? Does your skin have dark and light spots, large pores, whiteheads and blackheads, fine lines, wrinkles, or minimal acne scarring? There are many treatments available to help improve these conditions. Microdermabrasion is one of them. Microdermabrasion is a gentle process, and a series of treatments can enhance your natural beauty. Microdermabrasion is a procedure that uses physical exfoliation to remove the outermost layer of skin. We use a diamond-tipped wand to abrade the surface, helping to improve texture, fine lines, and wrinkles and leave skin softer and brighter. ​ What is microdermabrasion? It is a safe and gentle peel that removes superficial skin cells revealing the healthier skin below. How is it done? At Blush Lash & Nail Bar the degree of effectiveness is controlled by a widely adjustable vacuum in conjunction with the varying coarseness of the Diamond tip wand. The wand gentle lift the dead skin cells, and they are then vacuumed away. ​ How long do results last? Results from Microdermabrasion can last anywhere from 4-6 weeks depending on the client’s at-home skin care regimen after their treatment. ​ What’s the difference between microdermabrasion and dermaplaning? Dermaplaning and microdermabrasion are both methods of manual exfoliation. Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the skin using a diamond-tipped wand. Dermaplaning uses a sterile blade to exfoliate and also removes vellus hair. ​ Am I a good candidate? Microdermabrasion can be used on any skin type. ​ Is microdermabrasion painful? It depends on the individual; usually there is only mild discomfort. The diamond tip wand and vacuum settings are tailored specifically to you, and your needs. ​ Who should not have microdermabrasion? Micro-dermabrasion is generally contraindicated where any of the following conditions exist      • raised moles, warts, skin tags      • active acne      • viral lesions, herpes simplex 1, shingles      • rosacea      • eczema, psoriasis      • extreme telangiectasia      • open wounds      • skin cancer ​ How many treatments are needed? The goal of microdermabrasion is to perform a progressive, rather than aggressive, procedure over a course of four to eight treatments. Usually spread ten to fourteen days apart. When desired results are achieved, the patient is advised to return ever eight to twelve weeks for a maintenance treatment.
