What is Microdermabrasion?

How Is Microdermabrasion Done?

In the microdermabrasion process, first a pre-cleansing is applied to the skin, and the skin is cleaned by removing its oils. Afterwards, high-pressure aluminum oxide crystals are sprayed onto the skin with the help of special equipment in order to destroy the dead cells on the skin surface. Crystal dusts mixed with various substances are vacuumed again with the help of a special equipment and thus the dead cells that block the pores are cleaned. In addition, at the end of the procedure, the skin surface is given a smooth, lively and purified appearance.

Microdermabrasion is done in sessions lasting approximately 20-30 minutes. The number of sessions is arranged according to the needs of the person, but the usually recommended 6-8 sessions are to prepare a treatment program. At the end of the sessions, which are continued at one-week intervals, the effect is much more permanent and greatly reduces the risk of recurrence of existing problems.

It is quite normal to develop mild redness on the skin after microdermabrasion, but this appearance usually goes away on its own within a few hours. With the implementation of the recommendations, the permanence and success of the effects will increase further, so the following recommendations should be considered: 

• The skin should not be touched at the end of the procedure to avoid infection of the skin surface.
