Microdermabrasion 101

The first step in any skin-correcting regimen is exfoliation, and microdermabrasion is one of the most effective forms of exfoliation. Think of it as sanding your kitchen cabinets before you paint them. You must start with a smooth, clean surface. If your skin has months, or even just a few weeks of dead-cell buildup, no amount of products or nutrients will penetrate past that level to be absorbed and do it’s job.
Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation in which crystals or a diamond-tipped wand is used to remove the top layer to reveal younger, refreshed skin. Crystal microdermabrasion uses tiny sand-like particles (aluminum oxide) that sprays across the face to lightly abrade the skin. Diamond microdermabrasion uses a rough-tipped wand to achieve the same outcome. Both methods are followed by a vacuum or suction to remove the debris from the area that has been treated.
This popular technique has been used for many years to help repair skin on the face, neck, chest, or hands that has taken a beating from the sun and the effects of aging by reducing or removing fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation. The appearance of enlarged pores and scars are even lessened over time. Multiple treatments are recommended for skin correction, however, you will see and feel improvement after just one treatment. It is an excellent way to quickly freshen the skin for a special occasion such as a reunion, party, or family photos. It can be done on most skin-types and only takes about 30 minutes. And the best part is that there is no downtime!
The Spa At Evergreen, inside The Four Elements offers crystal-free microdermabrasion using medical-grade Diamond Microdermabrasion technology. This fabulous treatment can be used as a stand-alone service for exfoliation or combined with other treatments such as facials, ultrasound, or chemical peels for ultimate anti-age benefits.
