There are many skin care treatments available for at-home use. However, specialised treatment is available if it does not achieve the desired outcome or address your skin issue.

Microdermabrasion is a dermatological procedure that removes, through exfoliation, the top layer of skin gently. The benefits of this treatment are that the skin tones can be evened out, acne scars fade, and your overall complexion is brightened.

This treatment method is carried out by trained and specialised personnel, usually a dermatologist or aesthetician. It is not considered painful, and clients can start to see the treatment’s effects immediately. However, depending on your goal, you may need several treatments.

In a short period of time, this non-invasive skin treatment will leave your skin healthier, clearer, and more vibrant. 

What Is The Microdermabrasion Procedure?

Microdermabrasion combines a vacuum and diamond tips to achieve continuous suction with your skin. By doing this, it is able to effectively polish and smooth the skin it is in contact with.

What Is The Benefit Of Using Diamond Tips?

Microdermabrasion commonly uses diamond tips to exfoliate and remove the top layer of skin. However, oxidised crystals are another form used in microdermabrasion.

The beauty services offered through Body Complex used diamond tips for the microdermabrasion service offered. 

Unlike oxidised crystals, diamond microdermabrasion doesn’t emit particles on your skin to exfoliate. Instead, our experts are able to apply the required pressure to achieve the depth needed to exfoliate and remove dead skin cells. Through having full control of the procedure, it can be used in a broader cross-section of your skin, including the more sensitive areas, such as near your eyes.

Is Microdermabrasion Permanent?

A microdermabrasion procedure usually lasts approximately a month. However, the results can vary and last for longer or shorter time periods depending on your skin, age, and skincare routine.

There are ways to prolong your revitalised skin. These include:

●      Keeping your skin safe in the sun. Having your skin exposed to direct sunlight is highly damaging. It contributes to an uneven skin tone, wrinkles and age spots. To maximise your results, it is recommended to wear sunscreen when going outside.

●      Moisturise and keep your skin hydrated. As the years go on, your skin will naturally reduce the amount of hyaluronic acid it produces. As this keeps your skin retaining moisture, it is important to use facial moisturiser to prevent your skin from drying out. Microdermabrasion works to rejuvenate skin, and you will find that after this procedure, your skin will retain moisture with greater ease.

●      Keep hydrated. Water makes up a large part of your body and is influential in your body and skin thriving. Ensuring that you keep your body hydrated is another successful way in locking moisture within your skin. Drinking water throughout the day and eating water-rich food is a great way to do this.

●      Consider the products that you are applying to your skin. It is important to consider the products that you are using that come into direct contact with your skin. Certain skincare products may contain chemicals that can be harsh on your skin but actually, draw away your skin’s natural moisture, which is counterproductive for extending your treatment’s results.

Where Can Microdermabrasion Be Used?

Microdermabrasion is commonly used on the face and neck. However, it can be used on the chest, back, and hands as well. The ability to remove dead skin rejuvenates the skin and reduces the appearance of fine lines and skin imperfections. For any further enquiries or information contact body complex located in Andover!
