MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL
WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
Here at Skinova Medspa in New York City, our microdermabrasion facial is one of the most popular amongst our 10,000+ clientele. Crystal Microdermabrasion facials and addons. uses a crystal-emitting handpiece to gently spray on fine crystals to exfoliate away the outer layer of the skin. Like the diamond-tip handpiece, dead skin cells are effectively suctioned off, which in return provide a clean, smooth and healthy surface on the skin. Crystal microdermabrasion can address minor acne scars, areas of hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and signs of aging. The different types of crystals that may be used include aluminum oxide and sodium bicarbonate. The Crystal-Microdermabrasion facial on addon may be used on skin surfaces on any part of the body. There is little to no downtime after microdermabrasion. You should be able to resume your daily activities immediately. You can expect to see noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The number of microdermabrasion sessions needed will depend on the severity of your skin concerns as well as your expectations. Your provider will likely design a plan for the initial number of sessions, as well as periodic maintenance treatments.
