MICRODERMABRASION PERTH
Deep clean & refresh with diamond tip microdermabrasion in Perth
Microdermabrasion is a popular non-invasive cosmetic treatment used to improve the texture and appearance of your skin. If you’re experiencing congested or dry skin or need a refresh, book your microdermabrasion consultation at SKYN in Perth today.
How Microdermabrasion Works
Microdermabrasion uses a specialised handheld device with a diamond-tipped wand to gently abrade your skin’s surface. The abrasive tip physically exfoliates the outermost layer of the skin, while a vacuum mechanism removes the exfoliated skin cells.
This dual action removes dead skin cells while stimulating blood flow to the treated area, promoting oxygenation and nutrient delivery. A microdermabrasion facial is generally considered suitable for most skin types, but it may not be suitable for individuals with certain skin conditions or very sensitive skin.
It’s essential to consult with our experienced dermal therapists to determine if microdermabrasion is an ideal treatment for your specific skin concerns.
Your Microdermabrasion Procedure
- Microdermabrasion treatments at SKYN begin with a consultation with one of our dermal therapists. You will discuss your skin concerns, goals, and any allergies or sensitivities you might have.
- Next, your therapist thoroughly cleanses your face to remove makeup, dirt, and oil. If required, they will perform extractions of any active acne spots on your skin.
- Your microdermabrasion will then start, as your face is gently exfoliated and resurfaced.
- After your treatment, a mask may be applied to your skin. The type of mask used will depend on your skin type and concerns.
- Following this, we will then apply serums and moisturisers appropriate for your skin type and concerns. These products help nourish and hydrate your skin, providing a final layer of protection.
- Applying sunscreen is a crucial final step, especially if your facial is during the day. Sunscreen helps protect your skin from UV damage, which is especially important after exfoliating treatments like microdermabrasion.
Your appointment is complete once you receive your post-treatment care instructions, which include avoiding sun exposure, using gentle skincare products, and staying hydrated.
COMMON MICRODERMABRASION QUESTIONS
Immediately after a microdermabrasion session, you may notice a smoother texture, improved skin tone, and a refreshed appearance. In the first day or two following the treatment, you might experience some mild redness and sensitivity. This is normal and usually subsides quickly. The most significant improvements typically become noticeable within the first 7-10 days after the procedure.
The results of a microderm treatment generally last 3-6 weeks. Maintaining the fantastic effects of microdermabrasion means continuing the treatment every 4-6 weeks as a deep clean or as advised.
Microdermabrasion and dermabrasion are both skin procedures that exfoliate the skin to improve its texture and appearance, but they differ significantly in terms of their depth, invasiveness, downtime, and the conditions they are used to address. Microdermabrasion is a superficial exfoliation technique. It removes the outermost layer of skin, the stratum corneum, which is made up of dead skin cells.
This procedure is relatively gentle and doesn’t penetrate beyond the epidermis (the top layer of the skin). Dermabrasion is a more aggressive and deeper exfoliation technique. It removes multiple layers of skin, including the epidermis and a portion of the dermis (the layer beneath the epidermis). Dermabrasion is considered a surgical procedure and goes much deeper than Microdermabrasion.
Safety and suitability for any treatment are determined on an individual basis. During a personalised consultation, your practitioner will review your medical history and assess factors specific to you to determine whether a treatment is clinically appropriate.
Because suitability and risks vary between individuals, detailed information about potential side effects, risks, and aftercare is not provided publicly. This information is discussed privately during your consultation, ensuring it is accurate, relevant, and tailored to your personal circumstances. Your practitioner will also answer any questions you have to support informed decision-making based on professional clinical guidance.
