Exfoliation

Microdermabrasion is a widely favored method for skin exfoliation. The treatment begins with a mini-facial, where your face is professionally cleansed and sanitized before the procedure. Following the exfoliation, a refreshing mask is applied to minimize redness afterward. The experience feels similar to a gentle mini-vacuum with a diamond tip, effectively removing dead skin cells, impurities, and debris.

By clearing away dead cells and impurities, it leaves the skin feeling vibrant and supple. This treatment also stimulates collagen production, essential for maintaining youthful skin.

Microdermabrasion functions like a gentle mini-vacuum, focusing solely on eliminating dead skin cells, impurities, and debris. It doesn't have the capability to address pigmentation, acne scars, or wrinkles. Comparing its efficacy to expecting a dental hygienist to fix cavities, repair broken or discolored teeth, or perform root canals and implants would be misleading.

Almost all skin types can safely undergo microdermabrasion treatments. They are particularly beneficial after winter when the skin has been exposed to dry, cold weather.

However, it is advised that individuals with certain conditions such as severe rosacea, diabetes or active acne should avoid this treatment due to potential risks.

Microdermabrasion plays a critical role in promoting healthier skin. By exfoliating the topmost layer of dead cells and debris, it exposes a fresh layer of new cells.

These new cells absorb skincare products more effectively. Therefore amplifying their benefits and contributing to improved texture and radiance.

Proper aftercare is crucial following microdermabrasion to maximize its effects. This includes avoiding heat exposure such as direct sunlight or saunas for a few days post-procedure.

Additionally applying sunscreen regularly during this period helps protect sensitive new skin cells from harmful UV damage, ensuring best results from your treatment.

Lastly, following a tailored home care routine will prolong the treatment benefits.

• Improves Skin's Tone and Texture: By removing dead surface cells, it leaves skin refreshed, smooth, and glowing.
• Promotes Growth of New Cells: This process allows for a constant renewal of the skin, keeping it looking youthful and vibrant.
• Stimulates Collagen Production: As microdermabrasion boosts collagen production, it aids in reducing fine lines and wrinkles for a smoother appearance. 
• Enhances Skincare Product Effectiveness: Post-treatment skin allows for better absorption of skincare products into the deeper layers, improving their effectiveness.

A Chemical Peel offers a broad spectrum of benefits. It rejuvenates your skin by eliminating dead cells, impurities, and debris. It exposes a fresh layer, revealing smoother and healthier skin.

It can reduce signs of aging, pigmentation, and oily skin. Moreover, it enhances skin tone and texture for an overall revitalized look.

Pre-Treatment

Before undergoing a chemical peel, there are certain protocols that need to be followed. It is essential to cleanse and moisturize the skin twice daily prior to the treatment. These simple yet significant steps prepare the skin for the peel.

Exposure to sunlight should be minimized before a chemical peel treatment. It is recommended to use sunscreen whenever stepping out in the sun. Additionally, clients should stop using retinols and vitamin C serums at least five days prior to the treatment.

The Procedure

The process begins with a professional cleanse and disinfection of your face to ensure a clean surface for the treatment. Following cleansing, a glycolic chemical solution is carefully applied to your skin. This solution works to exfoliate the outer layer of dead skin cells and reveal the fresher, more radiant skin underneath.

The duration of the treatment will vary depending on the specific protocol, which will be thoroughly explained to you before the procedure begins. After the chemical solution has been neutralized, a refreshing mask is applied to help control any redness caused by the chemical reaction. This mask typically stays on for 10-15 minutes, allowing your skin to calm and hydrate.

Once the mask is removed, a hydrating moisturizer and sunscreen lotion are applied to protect and nourish your skin. This final step helps to lock in moisture and shield your newly treated skin from harmful UV rays, ensuring you leave the clinic with a glowing, protected complexion.

Post-Treatment

Proper aftercare is vital for enhancing the effects of a chemical peel and ensuring smooth recovery. We guide our clients in following appropriate post-treatment protocols which include using gentle, non-irritating skincare products.

It is imperative to avoid sun exposure as much as possible for at least one week post-procedure and always apply sunscreen while stepping out. Heat inducing activities like exercise or visiting saunas must be avoided to prevent any unnecessary irritation. 

For an effective home care routine, we recommend gentle cleansing with a mild, non-abrasive cleanser, followed by the application of a hydrating moisturizer to keep the skin hydrated and supple. Additionally, avoid using any products containing retinoids, alpha hydroxy acids (AHAs), or beta hydroxy acids (BHAs) for at least one week after your chemical peel.

Following these instructions helps minimize potential side effects and maximizes the benefits from your chemical peel treatment.
