Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion Treatment in Noida

The appearance of an individual matters a lot in personal, professional, and social life. As skin covers the entire body and is the most noticeable part of it, any changes in its appearance can make people feel self-conscious. Everyone wishes to have healthy, radiant, and youthful skin. Many cosmetic skin treatments can help achieve the same and microdermabrasion or MDA is one such treatment worth considering.

What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a highly popular professional procedure carried out by dermatologists at Skinlogics to improve skin’s appearance. It is a minimally-invasive, machine-assisted, gentle skin exfoliating technique that buffs away the affected superficial skin and reveals a new, healthy skin that is smoother, younger, and more evenly toned. The procedure is simple, quick, and virtually painless with rapid recovery and minimal risks. It is safe for most skin types and colors. This treatment must not be confused with dermaplaning, which makes use of a scalpel to scrape off the skin's epidermal layers. As it is a cosmetic procedure, most traditional medical insurance companies do not cover microdermabrasion treatment cost.

Suitable candidates for Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion treatment is recommended for people suffering from the following skin concerns:

Shallow fine lines and wrinkles.
Blackheads and inflamed skin pores.
Early photodamage or sun-induced pigmentation (skin darkening or tanning).
Skin discoloration or hyperpigmentation like melasma and age spots.
Uneven skin tone and texture.

Enlarged pores.

Dull or sallow skin.

Hence, it is performed for individuals who wish to improve or eliminate minor skin imperfections, get youthful, radiant, and undamaged skin, and are otherwise healthy.

Do not go for sunbathing or use tanning beds and even waxing
Quit smoking at least a week prior to the treatment to improve blood flow.
There is no need for pre-treatment medications.
Eye protection such as special goggles or eye pads may be placed over the eyes.

What to expect in the initial microdermabrasion consultation?

In the first meeting with your concerned dermatologist, be prepared to discuss:

Your goals and expectations from the treatment
Existing or records of having medical conditions, medical treatments or surgeries, and drug allergies
Current intake of certain medications and herbal or vitamin supplements
Smoking or chewing of tobacco, alcohol abuse, and drug use

In addition to the discussion, the healthcare provider may also:

Click photographs to save them as patient’s medical records and compare them with the photographs taken after the treatment
Evaluate the overall health status and any previous health conditions or risk factors.
Plan and recommend the course of treatment.
Talk about the microdermabrasion options.
Discuss what microdermabrasion procedure entails, its likely outcomes, and potential complications or risks of microdermabrasion- to make the clients understand all aspects of microdermabrasion so that they make an informed decision.

What happens during a microdermabrasion treatment?

The procedure of microdermabrasion may vary among the clients. During the treatment, the patient must either lie down or sit in a reclined position. Usually, there is no need for local anesthesia to numb the skin before the treatment. Generally, the procedure takes about 15-30 minutes and involves the following steps:

The skin expert first cleanses the area to be treated and makes it free of dirt and any make-up or cosmetics.
Next, the technician makes use of a diamond-tipped wand or sprays aluminum oxide crystals/ water to exfoliate the skin and suction to remove the skin cell debris and used crystals. Once this is done, the skin may feel a little tight and warm.
Usually, the treatment is said to be over after the application of a soothing moisturizer and sunscreen over the treated skin area. This protects the skin and enhances as well as prolongs the results.

Types of Microdermabrasion

Diamond Microdermabrasion

It involves the use of a diamond-tipped handpiece to slough off the dead skin cells and simultaneously sucks them away from the skin. The depth at which the technician performs this type of microdermabrasion depends upon the applied pressure and the period for which the wand is placed over the area to be treated. Generally, the slower the handpiece is moved over the area being treated and the more the passes are placed over the skin, the deeper the treatment is. It is a highly precise method that is preferred to be used on the face (particularly close to the eyes and lips).

Crystal Microdermabrasion

The crystal microdermabrasion system comprises a pump (to create a high-pressure stream of inert crystals), a connecting tube, a handpiece, and a vacuum. In this approach, micro-fine exfoliating crystals are sprayed onto the skin. Usually, aluminum oxide, magnesium oxide, sodium bicarbonate, and sodium chloride are the crystals used to abrade the skin. The built-in suction helps in eliminating the dead skin cells and uses crystals immediately.

Hydra-dermabrasion

This is the advanced method of microdermabrasion that combines water and oxygen in the air to resurface the skin.

The cost of microdermabrasion treatment in Noida depends on various factors and varies from patient to patient. To know more about microdermabrasion cost in detail, please feel free to visit Skinlogics.

What can be expected after microdermabrasion?

Depending upon the extent of skin damage and the number of treatments received by the patients, they can expect to have a long-lasting, polished (baby smooth) new skin look. The treatment also promotes collagen and elastin production, hence fading wrinkles. Moreover, the blood circulation is improved in the skin making sure all necessary oxygen and nutrients have a clear pathway for skin rejuvenation. After microdermabrasion, the skin can easily absorb the chosen skincare products.

There is a need for several sessions (i.e. 6-12 treatments) to obtain the desired skin appearance. Most individuals initially undergo two microdermabrasion treatments every month and then once per month as maintenance sessions. The number and frequency of the treatments required by the patient depend upon the skin issue being addressed, the size of the area being treated, skin type and color, and severity of the skin condition. People can have it as frequently as weekly (to start with three sessions) or up to every 8 weeks. As the skin regeneration takes place after a month's interval, the treatment may be repeated at average intervals of 2-4 weeks to continue the skin improvement.

Most of the patients return to their normal daily activities in 1-2 weeks after microdermabrasion. The recovery time is usually a few hours.

Possible side effects

Immediately following the microdermabrasion treatment, the skin may appear to be slightly red or pink and swollen or tender. This often subsides within 24 hours. Later, the skin can become dry and flaky and stay for several days. For some clients, the skin may burn, bruise, sting, or become extremely photo-sensitive. All these side effects can be resolved without the need for additional treatment. In cases where the skin tends to develop dark spots after clearing of acne or healing of the injured skin, the risk of developing multiple dark spots is more.

When a skilled and trained technician who has assessed the skin type carefully carries out the microdermabrasion at Skinlogics, if done by an expert the side effects of the treatment are either not experienced at all or are minor and very short-lived.

Post-treatment instructions

Keep the skin hydrated by having plenty of water and using moisturizers.
Daily apply broad-spectrum sunscreens of SPF 30 or more on the treated site and even wear a wide-brimmed hat while stepping out in the sun for at least the first few weeks of the treatment.
Avoid the use of topical acne creams for at least 24 hours post-procedure.

Do not apply make-up or any harsh cosmetics until the skin gets healed.
Do not consume alcohol for at least the first 48 hours.
Avoid the intake of aspirin-based products or ibuprofen for at least one week afterward.
Do not smoke.
Do not miss the follow-up appointments.
