The Benefits of Microdermabrasion for All Skin Types

As our winter activities are well underway, you might notice that your skin is feeling it. Dryness and the effects of wind and sun impact our skin throughout the winter. If your skin needs a refreshing pick-me-up, we recommend trying microdermabrasion.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a type of manual exfoliation treatment. At Skin Deep, we use the DiamandTome microdermabrasion machine, a technology that has been in the industry for 20 years. In a microdermabrasion session, we use this diamond-tipped tool that glides over the surface of your skin, lifting dead skin cells and rejuvenating the skin. 

A series of treatments will help smooth your skin and reduce the appearance of scarring, fine lines, age spots, hyperpigmentation, and sun damage. Additionally, microdermabrasion leaves your skin looking and feeling rejuvenated.

According to DiamondTome, 

“When one of our patented face and body wands is applied to your skin, the outer layer that has been exposed to and damaged by the elements is gradually removed. After several sessions, that layer is gone and all of the imperfections that exist on it (such as fine lines, shallow acne scars, age spots, etc.) improve.”

The Power of Diamonds

What makes DiamondTome microdermabrasion especially great for busy women and men is that there is no downtime to this effective treatment. Traditional microdermabrasion treatments use crystals instead of diamonds in the wand. This doesn’t agree with all skin types and sometimes requires more downtime after a treatment since it can leave the skin with more inflammation and heat.

With a diamond-tipped microdermabrasion tool, the diamond particles are fine enough that there is no downtime. That makes this an ideal treatment for individuals who need to return to work or family life as usual. And it makes it so that microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin types, including those with acne or rosacea. 

How to Get the Most from Microdermabrasion

At Skin Deep, we often recommend doing a few microdermabrasion sessions in a row, with three to four weeks between each treatment to maximize your results. Of course, your esthetician will give you a recommendation based on your skin type and your needs.

If you’re looking for a treatment to mix up your skincare routine and get some fresh results, ask your esthetician about trying out microdermabrasion! Especially with the exposure to the elements that our skin experiences during the winter, now is the perfect time to try it out.
