Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive superficial exfoliation treatment that uses diamond-tipped wand or crystals to remove the dead and dry outer layer of the skin’s surface. It is a treatment recommended to get in regular sessions to promote gradual improvement of skin texture. No chemicals involved.

A mild abrasion will be performed on your skin using a handheld device. This will gently remove the uppermost layer of dead skin cells. When the uppermost layer is exfoliated or 'broken up', the body will naturally replace the lost skin cells with new and healthier ones. This drives nutrients and oxygen to the epidermis. Gradually, the process stimulates cellular generation and promotes blood flow to the epidermal layers of the skin, improving your skin over time.

1. Your skin is thoroughly cleansed.
2. Skin cream is applied at least 5 mins before treatment starts.
3. Gentle abrasion is performed. Skin may feel slightly itchy at first.
4. Skin cream is applied again in order to stimulate the production of new skin cells.

Q1: Will microdermabrasion help treat my ice pick scars?
A1: Despite being highly effective and safe in treating acne scars, microdermabrasion is not very effective in treating very deep acne scars such as ice pick scars.

Q2: How often can I undergo microdermabrasion?
A2: This depends on your skin. For reparative treatments, a session every 10 to 14 days can be taken. But for maintenance purpose, once a month is recommended.

Q3: Can I return to work immediately after microdermabrasion?
A3: Yes, you can. Your skin may appear red for a few hours after the procedure, but that will subside.

Q4: What can I expect after treatment?
A4: It is best to keep your skin hydrated and use gentle skin care products. Your skin can be more sensitive to the sun over a few weeks after the treatment, so please put on your sunscreen as a protection.

Q5: How soon will I be able to see the results?
A5: Noticeable results can often be seen immediately. Best if the treatment is repeated a few times and it also depends on the severity of your skin concerns.
