Common Questions About Affinity Body Solutions Diamond Microdermabrasion Procedure in Tampa Florida
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical cosmetic procedure used to treat facial skin that has been damaged by the sun and age. Microdermabrasion can give the skin a fresh, healthy appearance by minimizing acne scars, age spots, blemishes caused by sun damage, crow's feet, fine lines, and superficial wrinkles.
Is there much pain with the microdermabrasion procedure?
There is generally no pain associated with microdermabrasion. At the most, patients may experience a feeling similar to slight windburn or some minimal stinging around the eyes.
Who are good candidates for microdermabrasion?
A good candidate for microdermabrasion is a physically healthy man or woman with realistic expectations who is looking to minimize the appearance of acne prone or blotchy skin, fine lines and surface wrinkles, sun-damaged or uneven skin, keratoses, large pores, milia, sebaceous hyperplasia or small scars.
What can I expect after microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion involves virtually no downtime and normal activities can usually be resumed right away. The skin may feel a bit hot or flushed for the first day after the procedure. It is important, however, that patients avoid sun exposure for about a week.
Does microdermabrasion require anesthesia?
Anesthesia is typically not used during the microdermabrasion procedure.
How long does the microdermabrasion procedure last?
Though multiple sessions are usually needed, a single microdermabrasion procedure takes about thirty minutes to one hour to complete.
Is it necessary to take time off from work after the microdermabrasion procedure?
Because microdermabrasion involves virtually no downtime, patients can typically resume their normal activities right away. However, it is important that patients avoid sun exposure for about a week.
Diamond VS Crystal Microdermabrasion
Diamond microdermabrasion is becoming a popular alternative to treatment with traditional microdermabrasion machines. Diamond microdermabrasion differs from traditional treatments in that it doesn’t rely on microdermabrasion crystals to perform skin exfoliation.
Crystal microdermabrasion is still a popular, safe and effective treatment; however, there has been some concern in the industry about the potential side effects of working with aluminium oxide crystals regularly over prolonged periods.
Diamond microdermabrasion relies on microdermabrasion tips covered in tiny diamonds to perform skin exfoliation. When the diamond microdermabrasion tip makes contact with the skin it abrades against the top layer pulling it off. The microdermabrasion machine then sucks the loose dead skin cells away from the face. Otherwise, diamond and crystal microdermabrasion peel procedures are exactly the same in that the treatment provider passes the wand over each area of your skin three times.
One advantage of diamond crystal free microdermabrasion is that the dead skin cells are accumulated onto a cotton filter and you can see exactly what was removed from your skin after the treatment is finished.
The diamonds on the microdermabrasion tip are actually thousands of tiny diamond particles which are uniformly sized. Diamond microdermabrasion machines come with an assortment of tips of varying sizes. The appropriate diamond tip to use depends on the patient’s individual skin condition:
- 100 for course skin
- 200 for normal skin
- 300 for sensitive skin
By having more choice in which diamond tip to use, diamond microdermabrasion offers greater customization of treatment. At Affinity Body Solutions your skin can have the clarity of diamonds.
