Laser hair removal uses heat energy to target and destroy hair follicles that produce unwanted hair growth, providing a quick, safe, and effective treatment that works on most skin types and colors.
Avoid self-tanners, hot showers or baths and chemical or perfumed soaps for several days post laser treatment to minimize any rashes or burns that could arise.
It’s Safe
Microdermabrasion utilizes a machine that emits tiny crystals across the skin surface to remove dead skin cells and make the complexion appear smoother. It works on all skin colors and pigment levels and is particularly helpful in eliminating age spots, discolorations spots, dull skin tone areas and age spots altogether. Microdermabrasion also can help reduce fine scars, clogged pores wrinkles as well as sun damaged skin or freckles that have cropped up on its surface.
This treatment is fast and straightforward with minimal downtime or discomfort. While most patients will experience some redness and swelling following treatment, these effects typically last only hours to days afterward. To minimize discomfort and accelerate recovery time use cool compresses on the treated area as well as take an acetaminophen pill for pain relief.
If your skin is particularly delicate, a milder version of microdermabrasion using diamond-tipped wands instead of more aggressive crystals may be more suitable. Not only will this be less intense and require less downtime; it may even produce similar results! No matter which form of microdermabrasion treatment is chosen by you or your physician, however; follow their post-treatment instructions closely in order to avoid complications or ensure healthy healing of your skin.
Microdermabrasion treatments can be combined with laser therapy for an even more comprehensive and effective approach to rejuvenating skin. Clients suffering from melasma often see dramatic improvement when combined with Illuminase light energy treatment to destroy dark pigmentation spots that form on their complexion, helping prevent further outbreaks.
Combining microdermabrasion and chemical peels is also an effective way to address acne-prone or blemished skin, with peels helping restore collagen production in older adults, helping alleviate various cosmetic skin concerns and helping address numerous cosmetic skin ailments.
It’s Effective
If you’re unhappy with how your skin appears, microdermabrasion could be just what’s needed to address various skin concerns. Microdermabrasion works by gently exfoliating to reveal fresher, softened skin while encouraging healing processes and overall wellness. With proper planning and treatment protocols in place, long-lasting results should be achievable.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive and painless alternative to laser hair removal. Recovery time will still need to be allowed for, so it’s essential that you follow all instructions from your physician – for instance avoiding exfoliating products or self-tanners for several days following your appointment is recommended.
A diamond-tipped wand can help remove dead skin cells, promote new cell development, and increase collagen production – creating tauter, smoother skin. Collagen levels tend to increase with youth but gradually decline with age resulting in looser, less even skin texture. Resurfacing treatments also help diminish brown spots, wrinkles, and light acne scarring.
Microdermabrasion is non-invasive, making it suitable for use on all parts of the body – neck, hands, arms and chest among them. However, deeper scarring or stretch marks will likely need different treatment approaches from microdermabrasion; your doctor can suggest an option.
After your appointment, it is vitally important that you drink plenty of water in order to rehydrate the skin and soothe any inflammation caused by treatment. Furthermore, hot water or saunas should be avoided until after healing has occurred; hot water can burn or blister the skin, so using only lukewarm showers and baths would be ideal. Exposure to heat or sun can further irritate it so it’s advisable to refrain from these activities until healing has taken place.
Microdermabrasion requires multiple treatments spaced four to six weeks apart in order to achieve and sustain the best results. If you’re interested in exploring what microdermabrasion can do for you, get in touch with a dermatology provider in your area to arrange an initial consultation and assess your skin and create a tailored treatment plan to address any goals that come up during that timeframe.
It’s Fast
Microdermabrasion is an increasingly popular skin care treatment. Utilizing either a diamond-tipped wand or fine crystals, microdermabrasion gently abrades away the top layer of skin to expose healthier and younger-looking tissue underneath, improving complexions, rough or bumpy texture, age spots and freckles among others. It has even proven useful against acne scarring!
The procedure is virtually painless and requires no downtime for recovery. It works on all skin colors and conditions, from clogged pores to sun damage and the signs of aging – though not effective against deep scarring or discoloration caused by severe acne.
Microdermabrasion does not alter skin pigmentation, making it suitable for all skin types and suitable as part of laser hair removal to eliminate unwanted facial or body hair. Although, for optimal results, wait several weeks between appointments as it allows time for skin recovery after each treatment session.
Laser hair removal leaves skin sensitive and itchy after each session of laser hair removal, and it’s wise to avoid scratching to minimize redness and swelling. Instead, moisturizing affected areas regularly with gentle lotion will aid in healing and aid recovery.
After laser hair removal, it is also wise to wait several days before applying self-tanners as this could expose the skin to UV rays and hot water that could potentially irritate and burn it further.
Avoid engaging in activities such as shaving and plucking for two days after laser hair removal to help avoid ingrown hairs, which often arise as a result of shaving and can become very painful if left untreated.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, painless procedure where a diamond tip or crystals are used to scrape away dead skin cells from your face using diamond tips or crystals, effectively clearing away unwanted facial hair and peach fuzz for an ultra-smooth complexion. Microdermabrasion will also improve deep scars, pore congestion, lighten age-related freckles and sun spots as well as providing smooth skin tone overall.
To maximize results, for optimal outcomes it is essential that you avoid tanning beds, hair chemical services and products that dye your skin at least two weeks before any appointment. You should not wear makeup or perfume to the appointment and ensure the area is free from lotions, deodorants or other ointments such as lotions. You should also refrain from exercising as well as sauna, hot showers or jacuzzi use for 24-72 hours post procedure.
As part of these safeguards, always follow the instructions from your laser technician, which could include applying topical numbing cream before beginning treatment and applying broad spectrum sunscreen with SPF 30 protection on treated areas of your body.
