Microdermabrasion : what exactly is it?
Microdermabrasion consists of projecting micro exfoliating crystals onto the skin to break up the surface layer and eliminate the dead cells. The treatment encourages the renewal of cells through the production of collagen. With improved circulation, your skin regains a better texture and its elasticity is thus reinforced.
Because it destroys the surface layer of the skin, microdermabrasion causes slight tingling and warmth. It is more of a discomfort than pain. If this is not your case, do not hesitate to tell the technician during your appointment!
In what situations is microdermabrasion effective?
Microdermabrasion is effective for treating the face, the neckline and the neck and the hands. The more time spent on the area to be treated, the deeper the abrasion will be.
Microdermabrasion is indicated for treating:
- lines and wrinkles;
- sagging of the skin;
- dilated pores;
