Microdermabrasion
- Description of the treatment
-
At Derm-Al Beauty, we offer corundum microdermabrasion, which is a mechanical method for epidermis exfoliation in post-acne therapy and in order to improve the quality and appearance of the skin, and as preparation for other procedures.
Corundum microdermabrasion involves rubbing off layers of epidermis with a strong stream of corundum crystals (aluminium oxide). This way, layers of epidermis are removed down to the required layer, in a controlled and even manner. Corundum exfoliation purifies, opens the pores, removes comedones, reduces scars and fine wrinkles, oxygenates the skin, improves the skin tone and stimulates absorption of active ingredients contained in medical or skin care products. The treatment may be done on different parts of the body, e.g. the face, neck, décolleté or back.
How does the treatment work:
The treatment is performed by means of a vacuum device with a rubbing stream. The selected part of the skin is massaged with the head of the device. A stream of corundum crystals is pressed onto the skin through the massaging head and at the same time, the vacuum sucks dead epidermis and impurities to a separate container. The treatment is painless. The exfoliation and purification effect is immediate. Depending on the intensity of microdermabrasion, the skin may be reddened and it may peel for a day or two. Sunscreen should be used after the treatment.
