In Microdermabrasion, we use crystals and vacuum to eliminate dead skin cells in the neck, face, back, chest and hands. The ultimate target is to reduce fines lines, age spots, minor scars, and finally giving you smoother and younger-looking skin. However, it does not work for everyone, so it’s essential to consult your doctor if you’re thinking of undergoing Microdermabrasion.
How much?
Based on 2019 statistics from the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, the average cost is $136. However, it does not include other related expenses yet. You need to consult your Plastic surgeons because it also depends on their medical expertise.
How safe?
Generally speaking, Microdermabrasion is safe, especially if the surgeon is well trained, has enough experience, and is qualified. You need to know the person who’s going to perform the treatment.
How is it performed?
The treatment is straightforward. You may not need anesthesia in this procedure—the medical professional moves the device on the treated area. Crystals eliminate dead skin cells, which are vacuumed away. The procedure can take at least 30 minutes to an hour. It’s expected that you experience redness and swelling after that. But no need to worry as this is just temporary. If your skin is sensitive, you may experience dryness and flakiness in the skin as well. You need to avoid sun exposure for few days. Don’t forget to put on sunscreen. If you got any problem after the treatment, contact your doctor.
