You may have had baby soft skin, but now time has taken its toll and you’re left with an uneven skin texture. Sun damage and exposure to the elements can cause your skin to become rough and uneven. Facial skin is extremely delicate, which is why it gets damaged so quickly. As easy as it is for your skin to get damaged, we can easily help to un-damage it in less than thirty minutes! Although the facial skin is more prone to the sun and free radicals, it’s also very glandular which means it heals quickly.
At Rhea Esthetics, we offer a professional treatment called microdermabrasion, used to alleviate mild to moderate skin problems and rejuvenate appearance. Microdermabrasion treatments use an instrument to gently smooth your skin, removing the uneven, superficial outer layer. This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat minimal scarring, skin discoloration, sun damage, and stretch marks. Microdermabrasion also helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a youthful look.
What Do I Need To Know About Microdermabrasion?
The best thing about receiving microdermabrasion is no recovery time is needed. After your treatment is complete, we’d recommend a special medical grade moisturizer or facial product depending on your skin type. This will allow you to prolong your result and to keep your skin looking brand new and refreshed. Your polished new look should be long-lasting, it all depends on how many treatments you received or on the severity of your skin. Many of our clients tend to incorporate microdermasion into their skincare regimen. It is a good idea to have two treatments in one month for first timers, then to come in at least once a month as a maintenance plan.
It is important to know that a microdermabrasion treatment is gentle and comfortable, and it works best on dull, uneven texture, and/or oily skin. Skin concerns such as clogged pores and minor acne scars can also be treated with microdermabrasion. What is great about receiving a treatment, is its ability to penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin a youthful appearance.

Acne
Microdermabrasion is gentle and suitable for most cases of acne prone skin. The procedure can treat clogged pores, oily skin, mild acne scars and slight discolorations. Many of our acne prone patients notice smooth skin, a slight fading appearance in their discoloration, and see better results when he or she gets treated once a month. However, we will discuss the right treatment during your complimentary consultation.
Process
The process is painless, quick, and fairly easy. We use a diamond-tipped wand. The reason being is because we remove the top, superficial layer of skin to promote new skin growth.
Removing the top layer of skin agitates underlying layers and enacts a natural healing process using a protein called collagen. The key to looking youthful is promoting collagen in the skin because it creates new and healthy skin cells, which help to eliminate the appearance of skin conditions. The abrasion device can be adjusted to an individual’s unique skin-type, making the process gentle and safe. Our clients are raving about microdermabrasion because it uses their own biological functions to improve the skin’s texture and tone. Many of our clients say the treatment is painless, but some feel a mild scratching as the procedure removes the superficial skin cells. We can compare microdermabrasion to exfoliating your skin, except we use a better technique that shows improvement in the skin. Additionally, you’ll notice a vibrating sensation on the skin, similar to a facial massage. Each microdermabrasion treatment normally lasts about a half an hour to forty-five minutes.
