Is a Microdermabrasion Facial Right For Me?

Microdermabrasion exfoliates the epidermis which allows the skin to repair itself with healthier, younger looking skin. The positive effects on your skin are usually immediately visible, appearing smoother and rejuvenated. As the epidermis produces new skin cells rapidly, they will appear fuller for more plump skin. Your outer skin layer will appear dry following the first 24 hours after the procedure but will quickly resolve as the newer cells absorb more moisture.

With the visible, positive effects on the epidermis, you may not realize the many benefits on the second layer of skin, below the surface. The dermis receives many long-term benefits such as becoming thicker, healthier, and fuller.

The Many Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion provides many benefits to the visible, outer layer of skin and below the surface. Research suggests, as reported by the National Library of Medicine, that microdermabrasion increases collagen fibers and increased collagen density as one of the most commonly reported changes. Additional benefits include:

Improved skin color

Reduced age spots

Faded scars

Smoother skin

Minimized fine lines

Reduced wrinkles

Firmer, tighter skin

Shrunken pores

Rejuvenated appearance

A brighter, more radiant complexion

Microdermabrasion provides these visible and healthy benefits to your skin and requires very little downtime. Unlike dermabrasion which may take 7-14 days to recover, microdermabrasion is a less aggressive alternative with typically no downtime or discomfort.

The skincare specialists at Woodhouse Day Spa in The Woodlands can help guide you on proper at-home aftercare to maintain your skin’s youthful appearance. You’ll want to use a moisturizer with a broad-spectrum sunscreen and avoid any sun exposure for at least a few days following the procedure.
