Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates and removes the outermost layer of dead skin cells, revealing a smoother and more youthful complexion. It is commonly performed using a device that sprays fine crystals or utilizes a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade the skin’s surface. This treatment helps improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen production, promoting skin rejuvenation. It is a quick and painless procedure with minimal downtime, making it a popular choice for those looking to enhance their skin’s appearance.
During the procedure, a microdermabrasion tool also known as a wand is used to lightly “sandblast” dead skin cells off the top layer of skin. Dead skin cells and oil build up are picked up altogether with vacuum suction. Resulting in clean, clear, Spicule Peel
The epidermis, also known as the outer layer of skin, is the body’s primary defense against environmental factors, and sustains the most damage from the sun. Photo aging occurs when ultraviolet light from the sun or tanning beds damage the skin’s structure. The effects of sun damage results in textured skin, wrinkles, pigmentation, decreased elasticity, blotchiness etc. Photo aging also affects the dermis which is almost entirely made of collagen and elastin fibers. These fibers form a system that provides the skin with structure, support, and elasticity. As this system of fibers breaks down, the skin loses its elasticity and firmness.
