Microdermabrasion

Complimentary Consultation 

Micordermabrasion traditionally involves the use of aluminum oxide crystals. However, at glow Medi Spa, we prefer to use diamond tips instead as the exfoliating agent.  The diamond tips feel very gentle on the skin yet they provide superior exfoliation. It is a very enjoyable, relaxing treatment. There is no irritation or "cat-scratch" red marks as you can get with crystals. It is also excellent at removing white heads from clogged pores.

The face, neck and chest are the most common areas to be treated. For large areas such as the back, we may recommend a chemical peel instead. Also, for active acne pustules, we may recommend a chemical peel instead.

Microdermabrasion is a more superficial treatment and does not produce the same results or significant side-effects as dermabrasion. Microdermabrasion affects the outer layer of skin by exfoliating the dead skin cells of your face, neck, chest or other areas.  Microdermabrasion can treat brown sun spots, hyperpigmentation and uneven skin tone, aging and dry skin, large pores, and may help to reduce fine lines and wrinkles. Your skin will look and feel healthier, smoother and more refreshed after this treatment.

Typically, most people go through a series of 3 to 6 treatments at intervals of one to three weeks to achieve their desired results. Depending on the area being treated, the procedure can take between 20 to 40 minutes. This procedure causes little inconvenience or discomfort and you can return to work or activity immediately after the treatment. Extra hydrating soothing products are recommended, especially for the first 72 hours. It is important to use sun protection after the treatment since your skin will be more sun-sensitive.
