Microdermabrasion Procedure

Microdermabrasion is a patented dual control system with an adjustable applicator head, with vacuum and crystal projection controls to customize a microdermabrasion procedure to the individual patient. Extremely fine diamond shaped crystals are delivered onto the skin by the device in a steady, effective stream. The Microdermabrasion System also micro massages beneath the skin to stimulate blood circulation and the lymph, as well as to promote oxygenation of skin cells.

As with many other treatments, the best results are achieved when a series of microdermabrasion procedures are scheduled. The removal of varying depths of epidermal layers in this safe and controlled manner will enhance the dramatic long term results of microdermabrasion at Wellsprings Medical Spa.

Tell me more about the procedure

After the skin is cleaned, the Diamond Dermabrasion™ device is used in the desired area. Then, the skin is treated with a calming toner and cream. The entire procedure lasts under an hour, depending on the number of areas requiring correction. Sessions for most patients last about 30-45 minutes. Following treatment, the skin is sensitive to sun exposure. As a result, sunblock is also applied to protect the skin.

How is recovery like?

After the procedure, your skin will be sensitive to touch and sun exposure. It may also feel tight. The treated area will be smoother, and the complexion more even-toned. Although the skin will be sensitive, you may return to work immediately afterward. Your medical aesthetician may recommend skincare products to assist in recovery.

Do not exfoliate the treated area a few days following the procedure, use a good sunblock (or wear protective clothing), and be gentle when cleansing. Some degree of flaking may occur. Excessive perspiration may irritate the treated area.

How many treatments will I require?

Many patients can see an improvement after a single treatment however you may need more than one treatment for the desired amount of correction. The best results are achieved after the completion of a series of treatments. Talk to our patient consultant to determine how many you may require.
