Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation that is gentle yet powerful and is also a non-invasive, painless, and low-risk skin treatment with absolutely no downtime that can easily be incorporated into your skincare routine. This treatment can improve the presence of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related troubles and disorders, especially with regular treatments.
After microdermabrasion, products such as moisturizers, creams, and lotions are more easily absorbed, making them more effective.
The treatment is perfect for the face, neck, and décolleté, although it can also be done on other parts of the body. More so, the skin remedy technique employs a unique applicator with an abrasive surface to mildly sand away the thick outer layer of the skin to revive its optimum health.
A diamond-tip microdermabrasion machine is used at the Unique Clinic. As the diamond tip moves across the skin, a vacuum is created, sucking dead skin cells, dirt, and debris away. Clean, smooth, and supple skin is the result of this treatment. Scars, tiny wrinkles, and pigment will go away in individuals with skin conditions such as acne, acne scarring, or aging skin.

What Causes Sun Damage (Photoaging)?
In addition to protecting against environmental factors, the epidermis is the body’s primary defense against sun damage. Photoaging occurs when ultraviolet light from sunlight or tanning beds damages the skin’s structure.Photoaging also affects the dermis, which is made almost entirely of collagen and elastin fibers. Photodamage results in texture, wrinkles, pigmentation, blotchiness, and decreased elasticity of the skin. Generally, the skin contains fibers that provide support, elasticity, and structure; as this fiber structure damages, the skin loses these properties.
Our skin is made up of two layers: the dermis or inner layer and the epidermis, or outer layer. As these layers grow and die throughout our aging process, dead skin cells are replaced by new ones. However, as we get older, this cycle slows down. As a result, our skin starts to look duller, while blemishes and wrinkles become more apparent.
Most of these imperfections are contained within the epidermis. Microdermabrasion is a gentle process designed specifically to target this outer layer of skin. It speeds up the natural process of skin turnover, leaving you with a fresh, more youthful appearance.
Professional microdermabrasion devices use Diamond, which passes over the skin and gently removes dead skin cells off the surface.
Microdermabrasion has been used safely around the world for years to provide subtle yet visible improvements on the skin’s surface.
Results of Microdermabrasion
Your skin will look and feel better after the new cells are revealed. It is recommended to complete approximately four to six treatments, depending on how severe the skin damage is.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive and painless treatment with absolutely no downtime. At most, patients will experience subtle redness for a brief period of time.
Microdermabrasion has very few risks. However, if you have any pre-existing skin or medical conditions that could lead to infection or negative results, then inform the skin professional performing the procedure.
Any procedure can be dangerous if performed by an untrained, inexperienced individual in a non-accredited facility. Verify that the location where you are receiving your microdermabrasion is supervised by a qualified skin professional.
