4 Myths About Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion exfoliates and polishes your skin, improving its texture and quality. A single treatment removes dull, dry, and rough outer layers of the skin. The treatment also eliminates blackheads and reduces both hyperpigmentation and fine lines.
Microdermabrasion has been a proven treatment since the 1980s, but it still faces a lot of skepticism. It's often wildly misunderstood, and many myths abound about its efficacy, safety, and purpose.Â
Here are four myths we hear often and the absolute truth about microdermabrasion.Â
#1) Myth: Microdermabrasion is Painful
False!Â
Most people feel very little during the microdermabrasion process. Some clients describe it as a mild scratching or vibration on the skin.Â
The amount of sensation you feel can come down to the skill of your technician. A technician who gets too aggressive with the wand might produce a slight tingling or stinging sensation.
Even if the technician gets too vigorous, discomfort is usually temporary. Sensation generally fades after the treatment is complete.Â
#2) Myth: Microdermabrasion is Only for Women
False!
Men have skin too.
Skin works the same way, whether on a male or female face. The outer layer dies. Dead skin cells look dull and rough. Blackheads form.Â
Any person looks more attractive with bright, vibrant, clean skin.
Microdermabrasion is a great way to feel more confident professionally and socially. If you're a man struggling to look and feel his best, call us to try microdermabrasion.Â
#3) Myth: Microdermabrasion is Only for the Ultra-Rich Â
Microdermabrasion is way more affordable than you might think! A single session costs as little as $120 and only as much as $150 if you simultaneously add other helpful treatments.Â
Most people schedule treatments 4 to 6 weeks apart, which means many people will find it accessible to add microdermabrasion to their self-care budgets.Â
#4) Myth: You Can Do Microdermabrasion at Home.
While you can purchase home microdermabrasion kits, using them is not a good idea. Most dermatologists recommend going to a trained professional to have the treatment done.Â
Microdermabrasion requires someone to use a machine that sprays tiny crystals to exfoliate the skin. If you don't do it properly at home, you could scar your face.Â
You wouldn't try to perform surgery on yourself, and you shouldn't try to perform microdermabrasion on yourself, either. Don't harm yourself irrevocably just to save a couple of bucks.Â
Is Microdermabrasion right for you?Â
Microdermabrasion can help treat minor imperfections on the skin's surface. A different skin care treatment might be more appropriate if you have deeper skin conditions.
A consultation can help determine if microdermabrasion can help you reach your goals. Contact Dermaluxe Spa to schedule a consultation and treatment today!
