What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical medical spa procedure that uses a chemical-free spray of micro crystals to gently remove your outermost layer of dry and dead skin cells. Following this procedure, you can achieve smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin. It is a time-tested treatment to enhance the appearance and texture of the complexion.

The procedure can also mitigate imperfections such as hyperpigmentation, fine lines, congested skin, and minor acne scarring. Today's microdermabrasion techniques are an innovative version of traditional crystal-based devices, offering a more comfortable experience while delivering consistent results.

Microdermabrasion helps generate new skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin, which continue to improve rejuvenation over several weeks and months. EllEve Med Spa provides microdermabrasion to patients in Woodland Hills, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California, and surrounding communities.

Who Should Choose Microdermabrasion?

If you are bothered by the presence of fine lines, irregular pigmentation, or wrinkles on your face, microdermabrasion could be an effective treatment. It is also an ideal solution to treat clogged pores, sun damage, uneven texture, and minor acne scars.

Procedure

The microdermabrasion procedure involves an exfoliation process that precisely removes the top layer of dead skin cells. Following the treatment, you have renewed and polished upper skin. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen and elastin in your deeper skin tissue, which revitalizes and gently firms the treated areas.

If you suffer from acne, pairing this procedure with extractions can reduce the number and appearance of whiteheads, blackheads, and skin blemishes. Treatments typically last 20 to 30 minutes. Because of the minimal downtime involved, this procedure is often called the "lunchtime peel."

A microdermabrasion facial is a deep cleansing service frequently combined with extractions and a high-grade vitamin C mask to produce more harmonious outcomes. After a series of treatments, you enjoy a soft and refined skin texture.

Advantages of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is suitable for almost everyone, irrespective of skin type or color. You can achieve subtle improvements and regain a refreshed skin tone. Scarring is avoided because the emphasis is on treating the superficial layer of skin.

As a non-surgical medical spa procedure, microdermabrasion is less harsh compared to dermabrasion and other techniques. You won't need anesthesia prior to treatment, and recovery is typically complete within 24 hours.

Microdermabrasion for Rosacea

Rosacea is a chronic inflammation that usually occurs in the facial skin. It is marked by redness and eruptions that look similar to acne. Microdermabrasion may help calm redness and improve texture, but it's prudent to consult an experienced treatment provider before proceeding to ensure the approach suits your skin.

Microdermabrasion for Acne Scars

If you want to soften light acne scars, microdermabrasion can significantly reduce their appearance. For deeper acne scars, also known as ice-pick acne, dermabrasion or other modalities may be required.

When active acne is present, microdermabrasion can exfoliate the skin and clear clogged pores of oil and debris. EllEve Med Spa receives patients from Woodland Hills, San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, California, and nearby areas for microdermabrasion.
