Microdermabrasion

What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a procedure in which your aesthetic specialist uses a special instrument to gently sand away the outermost layer of your skin. It’s a professional level of exfoliation that removes dead skin cells and gives you more even skin tone and texture. Microdermabrasion is a safe way to improve the appearance of your skin and address the following skin concerns:

• Sun damage
• Wrinkles and fine lines
• Age spots
• Melasma
• Acne scars
• Enlarged pores
• Blackheads
• Dull skin

In just about 30 minutes, this in-office treatment renews your skin without downtime or pain. In some cases, the team at Hanami Medspa recommends pairing a microdermabrasion treatment with a chemical peel.

What can I expect during a microdermabrasion appointment?

Your aesthetic specialist at Hanami Medspa uses a handheld device that emits tiny crystals to gently exfoliate the top layer of your facial skin to reveal a more even complexion. While it’s not painful, you may feel a sanding sensation. Some types of microdermabrasion use a gentle suction to remove dead skin cells as they’re exfoliated from your skin’s surface.

Afterward, your provider applies moisturizer and recommends how to care for your skin and which products are best for your skin type. There’s no downtime or recovery period, although your skin my appear pink for a day or two afterward.

What results can I expect with microdermabrasion?

You may notice an improvement after the first session, but many people need a series of microdermabrasion treatments to achieve their desired outcome. To treat the common signs of aging, including age spots and wrinkles, Dr. Phuah and the team at Hanami Medspa may recommend a series of treatments spaced every two weeks or monthly. After a few sessions, you’ll notice smoother skin and a more radiant complexion.

As long as you keep your skin protected from the sun and maintain an ideal skin care routine based on your skin type and other concerns, you’ll continue to enjoy a rejuvenated, glowing appearance. Your aesthetics professional can recommend a maintenance program to keep your desired look long term.
