What is dermabrasion with microcrystals?
It is a deep medical cleansing of the skin of both the face and body without using steam but by using special microcrystals.
It is one of the most popular treatments for both women and men, with immediate results and minimal recovery time.
How is dermabrasion with microcrystals performed?
In the treatment of dermabrasion with microcrystals, cleaning with a special face or body soap is preceded very thoroughly.
After wipping the area, a kind of mechanical peeling follows with the help of a special smart peel device.
The peeling is based on hurling sterile microcrystals of aluminum or corundum, which at the same time are aspirated to the upper layers of the skin to remove the dead cells.
And so, the surface layers of the skin are removed without a trace of injury, dragging away at the same time both dirt and sebum.
Then drilling of comedones, cysts and millet follows as well as removal of the closed sebum and thorough cleaning of the pores.
Afterwards, a special mask is applied, depending on the situation:
Immediate moisturizing and nourishing mask and/or hyaluronate drops as well as vit C, E or A.
Argillic mask against oiliness and acne.
Peel off mask to remove more sebum.
Collagen mask and immediate lifting, before an important event, eg marriage.
Dermaceutic's mask peel from the series of professional peelings as a treatment of acne, even if it's active.
Which are the main indication of dermabrasion?
• All cases of dull and tired skin, regardless of age.
• Acne, acne scars.
• Oiliness, seborrhea.
• Numerous unsightful pores in the epidermis.
• Freckles, melasma.
• Fine wrinkles around the eyes and mouth.
How is the skin after the treatment of dermabrasion with microcrystals?
Immediately after the dermabrasion with microcrystals, the skin has a mild irritation which disappears within a few hours.
The skin is soft and radiant without any trace of sebum, while the pores of the skin are closed after repeated sessions.
There may be a slight peeling for 2-3 days which is normal, but in any case you should not interfere or peel your skin alone.
Is the treatment of dermabrasion with microcrystals a painful procedure?
Dermabrasion with microcrystals is a special procedure, unique to each patient.
The protocols applied are personalized and specified by the doctor.
It is a simple painless procedure, which lasts from 60 to 70 minutes and upon the completion the patient can directly return to everyday activities without facing any problems.
How many sessions are required?
The number of sessions required depends on the situation.
A single session is enough for an immediate shiny, clean from dirt and sebum yet relaxed skin.
However, for keeping a youthful and fresh skin without fine wrinkles, sebum and pores, especially in people with acne, a protocol of about 4-6 sessions every 3-4 weeks is required.
Are special precautions needed after the treatment?
No special precautions are needed, except to avoid the use of makeup at the treatment day.
If applying make-up is necessary, we have the ability to do it immediately after the session with special Jane Iredale makeup products which, thanks to minerals that they contain, do not block the pores but also have anti-inflammatory properties and spf 50+ for full coverage and protection.
