As your skin goes through its cycle of turning over new cells and getting rid of old ones, it’s normal for dead and damaged skin cells to build up on the skin. Over time, this can contribute to concerns like dull skin, clogged pores, age spots, and texture. Although at-home exfoliation can be an effective way to clear your skin, microdermabrasion is one professional treatment that can produce even more rejuvenating results.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a professional skincare treatment that uses a diamond-tipped handpiece and gentle suction to abrade the surface of the skin, removing skin cell buildup. While it can produce soft, glowing, brighter skin, microdermabrasion treatments can also improve circulation and collagen production at the surface level. For even more transformative skincare results, it can be paired with other treatments like chemical peels.
Candidates for Microdermabrasion
Virtually all skin types can benefit from microdermabrasion. Although you may require deeper, more aggressive treatments for concerns like fine lines and wrinkles, microdermabrasion can be an effective, minimally invasive procedure to tackle dullness, dryness, congestion, acne scars, and uneven skin tone and texture. If you have very sensitive skin, you may want to look at another skin treatment. During a consultation with Dr. DiFrancesco and our skincare experts, we can create the ideal microdermabrasion treatment plan for you.
Microdermabrasion Procedure
Microdermabrasion can be performed at our Atlanta office and requires no anesthetics. After your skin is cleansed and prepared, the diamond-tipped applicator is applied to exfoliate away the outer layer of skin while gently suctioning the dead skin cells away. This process can take as little as thirty minutes, after which you can return home.
Microdermabrasion Results and Maintenance
This treatment can be an excellent option for deep treatment or as a regular part of your skincare regimen. We recommend a series of four to twelve treatments to fully address your skin concerns, and we can optimize your at-home regimen with our best physician-grade products to maintain your results. You can expect some slight redness and sensitivity after each treatment, but this subsides within the day. Afterward, you’ll see a noticeable improvement in your skin’s appearance, feel, and health.
