Fine lines, wrinkles, blemishes, and pigmentation can mar your skin over the years. Doctor Opeola at Westover Hills Dermatology in San Antonio, Texas offers a wide variety of treatments dedicated to restoring skin health.
One of our most popular and effective treatments is microdermabrasion. This is a non-surgical, minimally invasive treatment that helps rejuvenate the skin. This cosmetic treatment can transform your skin quickly, safely, and painlessly. During this treatment, a trained professional will spray tiny crystalline particles onto the skin, which will gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. They essentially sand the skin, an exfoliating process that removes any dead and loose outer layers of skin.
This increased production of collagen and elastin will result in rejuvenated skin that is bright, radiant, more even in tone, soft, and healthy. This treatment is relatively quick and will generally take just thirty minutes or less.
The longevity of the effects of this treatment is dependent on performing proper skincare. Because your skin is constantly regenerating itself and the effects of this treatment are cumulative, you may initially need to have several treatment sessions scheduled seven to fourteen days apart.
After receiving your treatment, clean your face gently with a wet cloth to remove any remaining dead skin cells. Imagine a cork inside of a wine bottle.
As we age, we heal slower. MDA speeds up the healing process by exfoliating dead skin cells more aggressively than the body. Dirt and bacteria are no longer trapped under the surface. This reduces the number of breakouts that would normally occur. Pigmentation from acne break outs heal quicker because the treatment regenerates cells while removing the build up of skin.
Discontinue use of any and all exfoliating agents 7 days prior to your MDA. Do not wax the week prior to a microdermabrasion and do not smoke. Avoid contact with the sun for days prior to treatment. Avoid scheduling an appointment if you are red or burned for 14 days. To read more on what to do before a microdermabrasion click here. The procedure is painless and quite comfortable. Your provider will cleanse the skin.
Working counter clockwise, they will start with the right side of the forehead and finish with the left. Your skin may feel slightly itchy at first, but you will acclimate quickly. You may feel tender or sensitive around the eyes. Any excess crystals will be removed with a sponge or towel.
Moisturizers and SPF will be applied to nourish and protect the skin. Initially your skin will feel a sensation of cleanliness and smoothness. Safe for all skin types, MDA is a slow and progressive process.
Without removing pigment from the skin, it can improve uneven skin tone and issues with pigmentation. Working in the superficial layers of the skin, it can aid in the appearance of acne scars, fine lines and wrinkles, and skin texture. The treatment reduces build up of sebum and debris in the pores and can help reduce pore size over time. It also reduces acne breakouts and oil production. One of the best no-down-time anti aging treatments on the market, microdermabrasion promotes the production of collagen and elastin and actually helps thicken the skin.
This depends entirely on your skin. For reparative treatments, we recommend every days. Lighter treatments can be received as soon as 7 days apart. For maintenance purposes, we recommend every 4 weeks. The cells naturally turn every 28 days. By removing this layer, the basal layer where daughter cells are produced will be forced to replicate the cells.
This will promote collagen and elastin production and thicken the skin layers. You sure can! Your skin may appear red for a few hours after the service, but that will subside. In some cases, it can last a bit longer, but rarely longer than two days. By following the post-treatment recommendations, you will ensure that your skin returns to its normal condition as quickly as possible. Like most clinical procedures, the first step in preventing side effects starts well before treatment begins.
After treatment, a short period of protecting the sensitive new skin will eliminate the chance of minor complications. These steps are straight forward and hassle-free — no need to drastically change your life to get good skin!
This usually fades within a few hours and the application of soothing cream during post-treatment will ensure that no effects will last beyond two days. The minor potential for serious after effects allows you to get back to living your life — and looking great whilst doing it!
