What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical, minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions. A diamond-tip handpiece is designed to gently exfoliate dead cells off your skin. At the same time, it will suction them off immediately.

The depth of the abrasion may be affected by the pressure applied on the handpiece as well as how long the suction remains on the skin. This type of microdermabrasion applicator is generally used in more sensitive areas, like close to the eyes.

It’s not necessary to use anesthesia or a numbing agent for microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colours. You can expect to see noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The number of microdermabrasion sessions needed will depend on the severity of your skin concerns as well as your expectations.

What is Micro Needling?

Micro Needling is a collagen induction therapy and is also known as derma rolling or skin needling. It is a treatment that involves puncturing the skin with tiny, sterile needles. This treatment involves micro injuries to the skin which induces the healing process to generate new collagen for smoother, firmer, and more toned skin. Micro Needling is a minimally invasive procedure to help reduce appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles and stretch marks through collagen production.

Micro Needling can also be used for ‘mesotherapy’ which is beneficial to those suffering from dehydrated, dull puffy, saggy skin, and cellulite. ‘Mesotherapy’ is done through injecting solutions such as hyaluronic acid for faster and deeper deliver to the skin. The treatment result will vary between individuals and may take 4-6 or even up to 6 months for results to show.

What is Microcurrent?

Microcurrent is a non-invasive and painless treatment that uses electricity to promote cell growth. This machine uses low-voltage electricity to stimulate muscle, adenosine triphosphate (ATP) cell growth, and collagen development in the dermis of the face. This treatment increases cellular activity which help tighten and smooth muscles and connectives tissues which help reduce wrinkles and fine lines, diminish pigmentation, roughness, and improve dull looking skin.

You should not feel any discomfort or pain, but just a cool wand and maybe some tingling sensation. You can expect to see noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The number of sessions required will depend on the severity of your skin concern as well as your expectations.

What is Radiofrequency?

Radiofrequency is an aesthetic technique that uses radio frequency energy to heat the skin to stimulate collagen, elastin, and hyaluronic acid production. This procedure helps rescue the appearance of fine lines, loose skin, cellulite, stretch marks and can even help with fat loss and toning. This treatment is noninvasive and effective with no bruising, swelling and downtime.

For skin tightening, it is done once a week for 4-6 treatments for the best results. There will be cumulative improvement seen with each treatment and ongoing improvement over months after due to actual collagen regeneration.

Radio Frequency is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colours. The number of radio frequency sessions needed will depend on the severity of your skin concerns as well as your expectations.

What is Chemical Peel?

Chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. The skin that grows back after a chemical peel is smoother and younger looking. Chemical peel is a treatment using diverse natures of acids to achieve varying levels of exfoliation on the skin. Chemical peels can be done at different depths – light, medium or deep – depending on your desired results.

Each type of chemical peel uses a different chemical solution. Deeper chemical peels produce more-dramatic results, but also involve longer recovery times. Chemical peels have a moderate heated tingling sensation for short duration of time that can be neutralized if the discomfort level becomes intolerable.

Chemical peel can be done alone or in combination with other cosmetic procedure. Combining microdermabrasion and chemical peels increases the penetration of your peel and refinement of your skin. Active acne patients are recommended to return every 10-14 days for a series of 4-6 salicylic peels. Anti-aging, Pigmentation and Hydration peel patients should return every 2-3 weeks as instructed by your aesthetician.
