Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses fine crystals and a vacuum to remove dead skin cells. The aim is to reduce fine lines, minor scars, wrinkles and age spots, and make the skin smoother and younger looking. Microdermabrasion is also an effective cosmetic treatment for those suffering from mild acne breakouts. The exfoliation treatment minimises the appearance of whiteheads and blackheads creating a smoother look to the skin's surface. It can also work to diminish the shallow scarring acne breakouts often leave behind. It is basically an exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves skin looking softer and brighter.
Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types. The exfoliating crystals are very fine and will not cause damage to your skin. Since microdermabrasion requires no incisions or anesthesia, there's no risk for scarring or infection, the treatment is painless. 
You can notice the brighter, more radiant impact on your appearance within a few days of a session. However, to get the longer-lasting benefits it is recommended to have between 5 and 10 treatments.

• Begin a gentle skincare routine.

• Stay hydrated. The products used during your microdermabrasion will work to hydrate and rejuvenate the skin. Maintain your skin’s plump, fresh and hydrated appearance by ensuring you drink plenty of water after your treatment. 

• Don’t pick at your skin. it’s common to experience some peeling of the skin after microdermabrasion. Avoid picking or peeling the skin.

• Stay sun safe.A microdermabrasion removes dead skin, revealing the soft, new skin underneath. This new skin is particularly susceptible to the harmful rays of the sun. For sun safety and protection, as always, continue to apply an SPF 50+ sunscreen every four hours after a microdermabrasion – especially when outside.
