Microdermabrasion is an increasingly popular, non-invasive, rejuvenating skincare treatment that uses a specialty machine to exfoliate the skin’s surface. However, while being a proven method to treat environmental damage to the skin, there are still certain myths about this treatment. At North Scottsdale Laser & Skin Care we want to make sure you are getting the facts right. These are some of the most common myths about Microdermabrasion— debunked.
Myth #1: Microdermabrasion is Painful
Microdermabrasion is not a painful procedure. While it can, in some instances, not be pleasant, the treatment doesn’t require any anesthetics or other pain control methods.
Myth #1: Microdermabrasion is not Safe
In the hands of a skilled dermatologist, Microdermabrasion is completely safe. The treatment is a common, non-surgical procedure with minimal risk involved. When done properly, it can significantly enhance one’s complexion without affecting deeper layers of the skin.
Myth #3: Microdermabrasion Sessions are Lengthy
Each Microdermabrasion session takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Due to its short session-length, it is an efficient treatment that can fit into anyone’s schedule.
Myth #4: Microdermabrasion requires Downtime
Microdermabrasion is often called the, “Lunch Hour Treatment,” because it is quick, safe and effective. Patients are able to go back to work or other activities right after their treatment without the need of rest or precautions.
Myth #5: Microdermabrasion is not Effective
Microdermabrasion is most effective when done in a series of treatments. However, because it exfoliates the skin several results have proven that it gives you a smoother and more youthful complexion.
