What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive cosmetic procedure in which the top layer of skin is removed to rejuvenate and promote new, healthy skin growth. We believe microdermabrasion is one of the best ways to protect your skin, particularly during summer months. This treatment can be helpful for improving light scarring, discoloration, sun damage and even stretch marks.
- The removal of dead, dull, sun-drenched skin
- Preps skin to receive deeper hydration from masks and moisturizers
- There is no increased sun sensitivity from treatment
- Provides instant glow and primes skin for even makeup application
How does it work?
At Elan our microdermabrasion procedure begins with your aesthetician utilizing our microdermabrasion device which rubs fine crystals onto the skin. This process gently exfoliates the outer most layer of skin essentially removing the top layer to promote healthier skin. Most clients do not report any pain from the procedure itself, but there may be slight swelling and redness for a few days following the treatment. To combat any side-effects, your skin care specialist will apply moisturizer at the conclusion of the treatment and provide a home skin care regimen. Many clients will notice results immediately following the procedure, though multiple treatments are recommended to deliver maximum results.
Candidates for Microdermabrasion
Anyone who wants smoother, brighter skin is a candidate for microdermabrasion as it is a process that works well with most skin types. Elan does recommend pre-appointment consultation to discuss any past cosmetic procedures or medical conditions.
