Express Microdermabrasion Facial
What is it?
An express microdermabrasion is the perfect treatment or if you are in need of a quick skin refresh.
What to expect during your treatment
You will be nestled into an aesthetic bed and covered with a light blanket, with the glow of a salt lamp lighting the room and relaxing music softly playing in the background.
Your skin care specialist will perform a deep cleaning, a pass with the microdermabrasion pen, and finish with an express face massage with serum and moisturizer to give your skin a quick boost. You will be in and out and leave with beautiful, glowing, refreshed skin.
How does microdermabrasion work?
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation process that gently removes the outer layer of your skin, where the dull, dead skin cells reside. The treatment uses tiny crystals that break up these cells to reveal the smoother, softer skin underneath. The crystals are gently worked into your skin by a handheld device. This process will remove dead skin cells from your face and neck without damaging the fresh, healthy skin below.
Am I a good candidate?
You are, especially if you are short on time and craving beautiful glowing skin! The ways in which you are NOT a good candidate are if you have any of these conditions: moderate to severe inflammatory acne; have rosacea; are in the midst of a cold sore breakout; have a rash or wound or other skin irritation; or if you’re using high concentrations of salicylic or glycolic acid or vitamin A serum (RetinA).
What does it feel like?
No preparation required except removal of any make-up before you come to your appointment.
What does it feel like?
The microdermabrasion process has been described as a cat licking your face sensation. No discomfort, and it’s very well tolerated. The face massage and cleansing portion, heavenly.
What to expect afterwards and aftercare
After your treatment, your skin will look brighter, feel tighter, and appear more youthful. You may have a tinge of pinkness to your skin, this is perfectly normal, that will subside within an hour to a few hours. Protective sunscreen is advised, a minimum SPF 30 or higher, as microdermabrasion can make you more sensitive to the sun in the days after treatment.
How many sessions are required?
Our skin goes through a growth cycle every 28 days if you are under 35 and 45 days if you are over 35 (give or take). It is recommended to have a microdermabrasion every growth cycle, so monthly to a month and a half (depending on your age) to always have your newer, more youthful skin showing and glowing. And pampering monthly is a beautiful gift you can give to your skin and your soul.
Possible side effects:
Increased sensitivity of the skin to sunlight is normal. Rare side effects can include skin swelling, skin redness, bruising, or a burning or stinging sensation.
