Microdermabrasion

Skin polishing or microdermabrasion is a procedure that involves removing superficial dead layers of the skin to reveal the underlying ‘fresh’ layer of skin and help stimulate fresh cell growth. This is among the most popular, proven and tested procedures.

This is a procedure that can be done on any part of the body that has uneven skin tone, rough texture, marks, etc. and not just be limited to the face or neck. Body polishing can be done on your back, hands, legs, feet, dark underarms, etc.

Also, this treatment benefits people with all skin tones and complexions.

InUrSkn is one of the largest skin clinics offering services like skin polishing in Powai, Mumbai.

Microdermabrasion

The Procedure:

The first procedure is where using a diamond tipped probe gentle exfoliation of the skin is done. At the same time the probe sucks away the dead cells using vacuum.
The second process uses crystals which are emitted by the probe to rub away the outer layer of the skin. Even in this case the crystals are immediately vacuumed off by the probe.
The skin after treatment turns red on a temporary basis and typically returns to normal within 24 hours.

This procedure is also called skin polishing. Sometimes this procedure is called skin resurfacing, but that is in fact incorrect. This procedure does not substantially change the texture or smoothness of the skin. Skin Rejuvenation procedures that help in true resurfacing of skin are microneedling and fractional laser skin resurfacing treatment.

Results Expected:

Frequency of Treatment:

The frequency of treatment varies between 2 weeks and 1 month and is advised by the doctor based on the condition of the skin and the result that can be expected.

Faqs

The idea behind skin resurfacing is to create a controlled damage of the skin in the affected area. This selective controlled damaged area when it heals, leads to smoother softer skin as a part of the body's natural healing process. Hence skin resurfacing can be achieved with various method like, microneedling through dermaroller, microneedling by dermapen or by use of lasers.

The cost of skin resurfacing varies based on the technique used and also based on the area being treated. Also one must consider that multiple sessions may be needed to see the desired effect.

Yes, Please note that skin polishing or any other skin rejuvenation procedures have results which are additive in nature. That is more you undergo these procedures, the better the results. But factors like ageing can always affect the treated skin as can accidents, lifestyle choices and environment.

For a typical skin polishing procedure we advise that exposure to harsh environment should be avoided for three days this includes exposure to pollution and sun. Post three days the person would be free to go about with their routine without any hindrance.

Skin resurfacing or skin polishing is performed for a variety of reasons from fine lines, wrinkles, dull skin, to scars and stretch marks. Hence there is no particular age at which this treatment is done. Skin polishing works by exfoliating the dead skin and encouraging the formation of new skin cells. It also improve blood flow to the treated area and hence makes the skin healthier.

Yes absolutely. As mentioned above, acne scars can be seriously helped by means of a resurfacing process. However it is important to note that the best procedure for reducing scars is microneedling and laser skin resurfacing and not microdermabrasion. Microdermabrasion or skin polishing is a gentle procedure and has limited effect on scars.
