So many women suffer from dull-looking skin, whether that be from the natural aging process or too many hours spent tanning in the sun. Fortunately, you do not have to resort to costly and invasive treatments to restore your skin’s natural radiance. A Younger You offers a cost-effective and non-invasive alternative at our high-end medical spa in Burlington and Brookfield. Our team of expert providers would be happy to work with you and help you eliminate your skin concerns by giving you customized microdermabrasion treatments that will restore life and radiance to your skin.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion treatments are the leading skin care procedure used to restore that youthful glow to your complexion. They reduce the appearance of common signs of aging and even out your skin tone and texture. These treatments also reduce the appearance of acne scars and age spots. It’s a simple, well-tolerated procedure that strips away the dead skin cells that have collected on the surface of the skin over time. These dead skin cells cause your skin to look dull, dry and lifeless. These treatments gently remove the superficial layer of skin to reveal the fresh radiance of the newly exposed skin.

Our professional will work with you to come up with the right skin care regimen to address your particular skin care concerns and needs. A series of treatment sessions is usually recommended, and these are performed on a regular basis until the desired result has been achieved. Afterward, you can do follow-up treatments as needed to maintain the fresh look of your skin.

How Does the Treatment Work?

The skilled technicians at A Younger You specialize in the state-of-the-art diamond-tip microdermabrasion method, which is great for people with sensitive skin. Technicians use diamond-tipped hand pieces to exfoliate and rid your skin of dead skin cells that can’t be removed with standard exfoliation methods. The tool extracts the dead skin and polishes the dermis underneath.

After treatment, our technician may lightly massage your fresh, new skin with a hydrating moisturizer that will leave your skin bright and glowing. Treatments are convenient and require no numbing cream or anesthetic, and all skin types tend to tolerate this procedure well. The treatment is performed in the comfort of our office, and you are free to go about your daily routine as soon as you have finished.

What are the Benefits?

These facial treatments will leave you with vibrant, rejuvenated skin and have a host of benefits, including:

– Increased collagen production
– Improved rate of skin cell turnover
– Boosts circulation
– Eliminates acne and blackheads

Because the procedure helps to boost collagen production in the skin’s cells, people with fine lines and wrinkles can see a dramatic improvement with microdermabrasion. Similarly, those who suffer from acne scars and hyperpigmentation tend to see a dramatic change in their skin’s appearance because the treatment will improve skin cell turnover, which speeds up the process of replacing damaged cells.

Those who suffer from chronic acne and blackheads also see a dramatic reduction in breakouts because microdermabrasion improves circulation in the skin, which in turn supplies skin cells with more oxygen and nutrients to fight breakouts. It also extracts blackheads by pulling out all the clogged oil trapped beneath the skin’s surface, which also will reduce the number of future breakouts.

Who is a Good Candidate?

This type of treatment is safe to use on all skin types. Practically anyone looking for an improved complexion can benefit from the procedure. The treatments are especially helpful in treating the following skin conditions:

– Dull complexion
– Sun damage
– Uneven skin tone and texture
– Acne marks and scars
– Blackheads and enlarged pores
– Hyperpigmentation
– Age spots or brown spots

What Can You Expect Before and After the Treatments?

Preparing for the treatment is very simple, and our professional can give you a few guidelines to follow in the days leading up to your appointment. For example, we may ask you to avoid tanning lotions or spray tans, waxing on the face and excessive sun exposure for a set amount of time before the treatment. It also is advisable that you avoid exfoliating creams and masks in the days prior to the procedure to ensure you do not irritate your skin.

Unlike more invasive skin procedures, microdermabrasion offers a safe alternative that requires little to no recovery time. Your skin may look slightly pink or red after the procedure, especially if you have a lighter complexion, but this will fade within hours to days of the treatment. Your skin also will be more sensitive than usual since the outer layer has been removed. You will need to exercise caution in the sun to avoid side effects. Additionally, we will advise you to keep your skin extra hydrated and moisturized immediately following the treatment.

What Makes Microdermabrasion Different from Other Facial Procedures?

Many facial services that remove dead skin can be invasive, harsh and costly. For example, some treatments are meant to strip the outer layer of the skin similar to microdermabrasion procedures, but they leave you with red and cracking skin for days or even weeks following the treatment and are often quite uncomfortable.

Microdermabrasion, on the other hand, is a well-tolerated, cost-effective treatment and does not require you to go under the knife. There is no long recovery time involved with this treatment, allowing you to return to your normal activities immediately. More women and men are using microdermabrasion to treat their skin complaints and acne problems because there is no discomfort associated with the procedure, unlike many other available alternatives.

If you have been suffering with dull, lifeless skin, microdermabrasion could be the answer to all of your facial troubles. Whether you are suffering from stubborn signs of aging, age spots or acne troubles, the experts at A Younger You can help rid you of your woes. Our team of skilled professionals will guide you through every step of the process from booking your appointment to ensuring you are ready for your first treatment.

Frequently Asked Questions

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

This non-invasive treatment works by using a special device. After the skin is thoroughly washed to remove any oil and dirt, the device is moved across the targeted area by a skilled and qualified professional. This ultimately erodes the dead skin cells, which are then removed from the treatment area. This promotes collagen growth, which leads to younger-looking skin.

Is the Treatment Safe for My Skin?

Microdermabrasion is a safe procedure with no surgery, anesthesia, or chemical treatments required. Unlike common procedures like chemical peels or facelifts, it is entirely non-invasive with virtually no risks of side effects.

Is There Downtime or Recovery After the Treatment?

Unlike many other common treatments, microdermabrasion requires no real recovery period or downtime. You can return to your normal routine immediately after your treatment. This includes returning to work or your other errands.

How Long is a Treatment?

This is known to be a quick treatment, making it a perfect option for someone with a busy schedule or lifestyle.

Who are Ideal Candidates for the Treatment?

An ideal candidate will be a healthy adult who has relatively minor skin conditions or imperfections. They should have realistic expectations for the results and prefer a non-invasive renewable treatment to a surgical procedure.

How Many Treatments are Recommended?

It all depends on the unique case. We may recommend a series of treatments, spaced at least a week or so apart. More serious skin issues like acne scars or skin discoloration may require additional treatments. After the initial treatment course, maintenance treatments are recommended every so often to maintain the results.

What Should I Expect Before Microdermabrasion?

If you’re considering this treatment, the first step is to schedule an initial consultation with one of our certified professionals. They will examine your skin to determine if you’re a suitable candidate for the treatment and discuss the process with you in greater detail. After deciding on the targeted area and scheduling your initial appointment, you will be given instructions on how to prepare for your treatment. As this is a non-invasive treatment, prep is minimal. You will be advised to keep your face clean and free of any makeup or chemicals before your treatment.

What Should I Expect During My Initial Treatment?

Your treatment will be performed by a skilled expert. The first step is to thoroughly clean your face. Then, a handheld wand goes over the targeted skin area. The wand targets the damaged skin and removes the dead skin along with it. The procedure may be finished by applying a serum and/or moisturizer to protect the newly exposed skin.

Is the Treatment Uncomfortable?

Microdermabrasion is considered a comfortable, well-tolerated treatment. You may feel a mild scratching sensation as the device moves across the skin, but the feeling should be bearable overall.

Should I Expect Any Side Effects After Treatment?

This treatment has no serious side effects. Immediately after the treatment, you may experience minor tightness or dryness in the skin, akin to a mild sunburn. This can be alleviated with a moisturizer and sunblock. Your skin may appear slightly red for a day after the treatment; however, this is entirely normal and temporary. No post-treatment effects will be serious enough to restrict you from resuming most normal activities.

When Will I See the Effects of My First Treatment?

The first treatment typically results in an immediate improvement in skin tone and a more youthful appearance. Results will depend on your individual skin tone, but you will walk out of the treatment seeing the effects, and they will be magnified in time and with every treatment.

What Areas of the Body Can Be Treated?

The face is the most common area for treatment, which is understandable since that’s the first thing most people see when they look at a person.

Who is Not a Candidate for Microdermabrasion?

This treatment is not recommended for anyone looking to remove deep scars, keloids, sunburns, rosacea, eczema, active acne, or deep scars. These more serious skin conditions are best treated with alternative treatments. The treatment is not recommended for anyone with skin cancer or infectious skin conditions such as warts, herpes, or unstable diabetes. Microdermabrasion is not recommended for pregnant women.

What are the Long-Term Results?

The treatment will most likely result in thicker, healthier, younger-looking skin. It will roll back minor skin ailments like fine lines, clogged pores, minor acne, sun damage, uneven skin tone, and oily or dry skin. After a full course of treatments, your body will produce new layers of skin with a higher level of collagen and elastin. Your skin will have a healthy, youthful glow.

Are At-Home Treatment Kits Recommended?

We recommend the treatment be done by a qualified professional. The treatment requires a specific, carefully timed method of application and removal to achieve maximum skin benefits.

A popular form of skin rejuvenation is microdermabrasion. The method uses tiny crystals or diamond-tipped wands to gently remove the epidermis. We typically recommend microdermabrasion for those concerned about the appearance of uneven skin tone, fine lines and wrinkles and shallow-depth scars. Microdermabrasion can also help reduce the appearance of age spots and freckles, and it has the potential to unclog enlarged pores.

Performing Microdermabrasion

Before we decide to perform this treatment, we consult with the client and address all skin concerns. Many of our clients are experiencing fine lines and wrinkles, scarring and other discolorations. If we determine that microdermabrasion is the suitable treatment, we will schedule a treatment whenever it is convenient for the client.

During the actual treatment, a special device is used to remove the dead skin cells. It also involves the use of extraction to remove dirt and other foreign material from the pores. Treatments are performed in the comfort of our office without the need for anesthesia. This treatment is extremely convenient for people with busy schedules and lifestyles.

After a Microdermabrasion Treatment

No special post-treatment regimen is required on the part of the client. Bandages need not be worn, so the client can resume most all normal activities at once. We do recommend staying out of the sun for a few days following treatment.

Most clients will benefit from this treatment if it is repeated after two or three weeks. After that, regular follow-up treatments, scheduled a set amount of time apart, will help to maintain the smooth skin and even skin tone resulting from the initial treatments. However, it all depends on the unique situation, and a customized treatment plan can be created for you that addresses your specific concerns.

What are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is performed without the use of harsh chemical peel acids. No surgery is involved, so clients need not worry about downtime or intense discomfort. Unlike plumping fillers, microdermabrasion stimulates healthy skin growth.
