Microdermabrasion

The two most popular skin rejuvenation techniques are microdermabrasion and dermabrasion, particularly for adults whose ageing symptoms have just begun to manifest. Both of these techniques operate on the premise that skin is abraded to encourage the creation of collagen and so alleviate the problems.

How is MDA performed?
Microdermabrasion is a simple skin treatment in which the dermatologist smoothens and polishes the skin with an instrument. The machine often uses crystals which gently exfoliate the uppermost layer of skin, and this assists in removing the dead skin cells. This process helps to remove the lifeless and dull looking skin, and finally making the skin to look smoother, firmer, and more radiant.

Are there any side effects of MDA?
As, the skin is treated with just pressure and crystals, there are no risks of burns or scabbing, which are often seen with a chemical peel.

What are the advantages of MDA?
The skin feels rejuvenated immediately after treatment, and the glow lasts for several weeks. An additional advantage of the treatment is that the home care regimen of skin lightening or anti-aging creams can work better.

Most people are very comfortable with microdermabrasion, and experience no side effects. However, in people with sensitive skin, there may be mild redness, which resolves itself in 24 to 48 hours. The best part of this treatment is that even if you experience redness, the next treatment can be adjusted according to the skin sensitivity by reducing the crystal flow and vacuum settings.
