What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure used to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. Your provider at Ashley Muse Aesthetics & Wellness performs the procedure by exfoliating your outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, more radiant skin underneath. 

Microdermabrasion is usually performed on the face, but Ashley can also use it on other areas of your body.

What issues can microdermabrasion address?

Microdermabrasion can address several skin issues, including:

Dull or uneven skin tone

By removing dead skin cells and stimulating cell turnover, microdermabrasion can help brighten your complexion and even out your skin tone, resulting in a more radiant and youthful appearance.

Fine lines and wrinkles

Microdermabrasion can minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles by promoting collagen production and smoothing your skin's surface texture.

Acne and acne scars

Microdermabrasion can help reduce the severity of acne breakouts and diminish the appearance of acne scars by unclogging pores, removing debris, and promoting healing.

Hyperpigmentation

Microdermabrasion can lighten dark spots and hyperpigmentation caused by sun damage, aging, or hormonal changes, resulting in a more even skin tone.

How does microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion works by using either a diamond-tipped wand or a spray of fine crystals to gently exfoliate the outer layer of your skin. As your provider glides the handheld device over your skin, it creates friction or abrasion on your skin's surface, removing dead skin cells, oil, and other impurities. 

The treatment also promotes blood circulation and collagen production to improve skin texture, elasticity, and overall appearance.

When will I notice my microdermabrasion results?

After your microdermabrasion treatment, you may notice immediate improvements in the texture and tone of your skin. However, full results typically become more apparent over the next few days as any redness or irritation subsides, revealing smoother, clearer skin.

For optimal results, Ashley may recommend multiple sessions of microdermabrasion spaced several weeks apart. The number of sessions required depends on your skin concerns, goals, and individual response to treatment.
