In Microdermabrasion, a fine stream of aluminium oxide crystals is used to exfoliate
the skin’s upper layers. The intensity of exfoliation can be varied to suit an individual’s
skin type from light exfoliation to deeper resurfacing. The procedure stimulates
collagen production and renews skin elasticity; thereby, enhancing the skin tone
and resilience. Superficial acne scars and enlarged pores may also be reduced.
Stop all medicated applications on the face, 2 days before the procedure and 5
days after it, or as advised.
Avoid excessive exposure to the sun between 11 am and 4 pm.
Use SPF 15-30 sunscreen lotion regularly.
Use a moisturiser if the skin feels dry and stretched.
Do not thread / bleach / wax / shave hair (parlour activities) 5 days before and
after the procedure.
