What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive skin exfoliation treatment. Microdermabrasion treatment removes the superficial layers of your skin, which allows your brand-new skin to take its place. Microdermabrasion can treat skin issues such as:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Sun damage
- Age spots
- Large pores
- Dull tone
- Rough texture
- Acne
- Acne scars
Many patients have microdermabrasion when they want general skin rejuvenation as they age, but you can also have microdermabrasion to focus on just one problem, like acne scars.
How does microdermabrasion treatment work?
MiKO Med Spa Medical Director Dr. Michael K. Obeng designed the microdermabrasion protocol himself, and he personally chose the team of aesthetics specialists who administer microdermabrasion and other aesthetic treatments. This gives you safe, reliable microdermabrasion with excellent results.
Your MiKO Med Spa specialist begins by cleaning your face, and then they spray a layer of superfine crystals onto your skin. The crystals buff the damaged skin off in tiny pieces that your aesthetic specialist vacuums away with a gentle suction nozzle.
Your freshly revealed skin looks smooth, clear, and undamaged. The suction action of the vacuum also triggers collagen growth, which helps reduce lines and wrinkles over time.
Am I a good microdermabrasion candidate?
Microdermabrasion is a safe and consistent procedure that’s a good option for nearly anyone who needs help with problems like sun damage, fine lines, acne, and age spots. But, you shouldn’t have microdermabrasion if you have open acne lesions. Your MiKO Med Spa aesthetic specialist can help you decide if microdermabrasion is the right skin improvement for you.
How do I recover after microdermabrasion?
There’s no downtime after microdermabrasion, but your MiKO Med Spa specialist gives you some recovery tips to follow in the first few days. This usually includes using a quality moisturizer, avoiding sun exposure, and skipping makeup application for at least 24 hours.
How often do I need microdermabrasion treatments?
It depends on your treatment goals. You can have this gentle treatment weekly, so many patients have several weekly treatments until they reach the desired appearance and then schedule monthly microdermabrasion to maintain results long-term.
