Microdermabrasion — Relief for Aging Skin
May 29, 2019
Microdermabrasion helps to renew your skin, resulting in a tighter, brighter and more youthful appearance.
It’s been said that age brings wisdom. But that’s not all age delivers. It can also bring a duller complexion and skin that’s less taut or smooth. If you’ve been noticing subtle or even major changes in your skin like dark spots, acne scars and those fine, spidery lines and wrinkles around your eyes and mouth; luckily, there’s microdermabrasion to the rescue. This minimally-invasive treatment firms up collagen, your skin’s protein rejuvenator. Microdermabrasion helps to renew your skin, resulting in a tighter, brighter and more youthful appearance.

Microdermabrasion involves using a special scraping or suctioning device to gently lift that tougher, outer layer of skin cells from your face, neck or other parts of your body. Some women use this technique to remove scarring and stretch marks from the abdomen after having a baby.

Microdermabrasion Things to Consider
Treatments have very little downtime. It’s typical to see positive results right after a few sessions. You can get treatments weekly, bi-monthly or monthly. Even though microdermabrasion isn’t a permanent fix, patients who protect themselves from the sun’s harsh, ultraviolet rays and obediently follow the advice of their skincare specialist tend to benefit from better results in between sessions.
A Brief Look Back at Microdermabrasion
Whenever we consider the historical path of beauty; all roads lead to ancient Egypt. Early Egyptian physicians and healers were ingenious in beauty maintenance techniques like rubbing the skin with sandpaper to remove blemishes and other skin defects.
At the turn of the 20th century, the precursor to microdermabrasion was dermabrasion, a very unpleasant process. It was both invasive and painful as a much deeper layer of the skin was removed during “treatment”. After effects included scarring and sometimes, infection. Unlike today’s microdermabrasion treatments, dermabrasion patients could be out of commission for weeks. In the modern era, microdermabrasion evolved into the minimally-invasive, effective and painless technique it is today.
Quick and Easy Treatments
During a microdermabrasion session; you’re looking at less time than it takes to watch a sitcom on Netflix. Your facial treatment should be under an hour and expect about 20 minutes for a neck treatment. During the procedure, the esthetician works with a scraping instrument that delivers a non-painful sensation akin to sanding as the upper layer of skin is removed.
After treatment, your esthetician will advise you to use a moisturizer when you get home. Most importantly, before microdermabrasion treatment, consult your doctor
to make sure that you don’t have any troublesome moles, scar tissue or other problematic skin conditions that will be negatively impacted by this procedure. Sometimes your skin may be a little red or swollen after your treatment but this clears up usually within 24 hours. So, book your appointment today.

If you follow the latest trends in health and beauty, you’ve probably heard the term “peptides” more than once. But what are peptides, really, and why are they suddenly everywhere—from skincare products to weight loss programs?
If you feel like you’ve done everything right—cut calories, hit the gym, tried every diet under the sun—but the scale won’t budge, you’re not alone. The truth is, weight loss is complicated, and sometimes your body’s own biology gets in the way. That’s where peptides come in.
If you’ve been searching for a skincare ingredient that actually delivers, peptides should be on your radar. These tiny molecules have a big impact, making them a go-to in both topical products and advanced med spa treatments.
Has your hair lost its shine or started thinning? Are your nails breaking more easily than they used to? These are common issues, and they often point back to the proteins that give hair and nails their structure: keratin and collagen.
Peptides aren’t just about looks—they’re also gaining attention for their potential to support cardiovascular health, particularly when it comes to blood pressure.
Whether you’re a weekend warrior, a committed gym-goer, or just want to stay active as you age, recovery matters as much as effort. Peptides are being embraced by athletes and active people alike for their ability to support muscle repair, reduce inflammation, and help build lean muscle.
