What is Microdermabrasion? What is Dermasweep?

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment used to eliminate damaged or dead skin so your complexion looks smoother and brighter, giving you a more even tone and texture. Dermasweep is one of the best ways to achieve this and not only does it exfoliate, it puts an infusion of the corrective serum that you need back into the skin. You have more than 10 choices of corrective serums including a probiotic one, a hydrating serum, brightening, red carpet, chemical peels and more.

The treatment improves the appearance of a variety of skin-related concerns, including age spots, acne scars, sun damage, stretch marks, wrinkles, and fine lines. Microdermabrasion is typically performed with a special applicator covered with an abrasive surface. By gently sanding away the uneven or damaged outer layer of your skin, microdermabrasion gives you a fresher, more rejuvenated appearance.

Unlike some skin care procedures, there’s no downtime with microdermabrasion.

What conditions can microdermabrasion treat?

Microdermabrasion is effective for a range of skin tones. The treatment can improve the appearance of many skin-related conditions caused by acne, aging, and environment. Microdermabrasion works to:

  • Reduce the appearance of wrinkles and fine lines
  • Improve the appearance of age spots and blackheads
  • Lessen the appearance of stretch marks
  • Shrink large pores
  • Improve the appearance of dark skin patches, known as hyperpigmentation
  • Exfoliate away dull skin, resulting in a more refreshed look

Microdermabrasion generally works in tandem with anti-aging creams and products. Your practitioner at Aesthetica may suggest microdermabrasion to help boost the effectiveness of these products.

What happens during Dermasweep Microdermabrasion?

At Aesthetica medspa, your provider uses a handheld brush device, moving it across your skin to gently remove the top layer.
