Project Description
What is Microdermabrasion ?
Microdermabrasion is a skin treatment that can treat the top layers of damaged and dead skin cells using very fine crystals. Microdermabrasion treatment also encourages the dermis (the deeper layers of skin tissue) to begin producing fresh collagen. This helps fill in facial folds, wrinkles, and depressions like acne scars over time.
Microdermabrasion can help with many different skin issues. These include:
- Facial lines and wrinkles
- Facial folds
- Sunspots
- Large pore size
- Flaky and patchy skin
- Acne scars
- Pigmentation issues
How does LED light therapy help with microdermabrasion?
LED light therapy can help with microdermabrasion by stimulating the body’s ability to heal. The light therapy encourages the skin to heal more quickly and more evenly. Different colors of light correspond to different wavelengths, and the LED treatment is customized based on the patient’s needs. For patients with sensitive skin, the use of LED therapy can greatly alleviate redness and discomfort and encourage faster healing.
What is the treatment process like?
Before treatment begins, your skin will be carefully cleaned and dried.
Next, your treatment aesthetician will begin sweeping the handheld treatment wand across your face using smooth and gentle movements. The microcrystals are dispensed gradually and then gently buffed away. This targets the dead and damaged skin as well. As the dermis (the deeper layers of the skin) is stimulated, the skin may feel like it’s receiving a deep massage.
Once the treatment is over, your Brickell Cosmetic Center treatment aesthetician will apply a soothing moisturizing cream to your face.
How long does LED microdermabrasion treatment take?
LED microdermabrasion treatment usually takes only around 30 minutes. You can even schedule treatment on your lunch hour!
How many sessions do you need for optimal results?
The team can create a customized microdermabrasion treatment just for your skincare needs. Most patients get optimal results from a series of treatments, with around three treatments yielding great results. To maintain the most radiant and glowing youthful skin, plan for a microdermabrasion every two weeks. Ask the team about creating a custom LED microdermabrasion treatment plan today.
