WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that stimulates blood flow. It improves cell production and skin’s elasticity and texture. Microdermabrasion does this by removing the top layers of the skin which will then naturally be replaced with new skin cells.

There are many types of microdermabrasion. One of the methods uses crystal to powerfully dust on the skin to exfoliate away dead skin. Another method of microdermabrasion is using a diamond tip to exfoliate the dead skin cells. The diamond tip microdermabrasion method is a cleaner method because it doesn't distribute the crystals onto the skin. There are also different levels on the grit tip which can make the microdermabrasion stronger, or less powerful.

The last way to get a microdermabrasion treatment done is by using the hydra dermabrasion machine. This method uses water and serums to exfoliate the skin and push product into the skin.

At Imagine you new in St. Petersburg Florida, we use the diamond microdermabrasion method and the hydra dermabrasion method. We typically use the diamond microdermabrasion method combined with other modalities such as dermaplaning and resurfacing. When using the hydra dermabrasion method, we tend to stick with exfoliation with the hydra dermabrasion machine and pushing serums in the skin. The hydra dermabrasion method puts extreme hydration into the skin which leaves your skin smooth and glowing.
