MICRODERMABRASION (skin polishing)
MDA is a simple method of skin resurfacing involving mechanical exfoliation of the upper layers of epidermis. This technology is one of the most popular methods for skin rejuvenation today due to minimal down-time and low incidence of side effects.
Regenerative changes
Disruption of upper epidermal layers brings about a stimulation of epidermal cell turnover along with dilatation of blood vessels, which then leads to dermal edema and subsequent collagen remodeling.
Change in the skin
Normally, water-soluble molecules and larger molecules have limited diffusion across intact skin, whereas lipid soluble molecules and molecules with low-molecular weight (<500 da) can diffuse well. As MDA exfoliates the stratum corneum, it allows transdermal delivery of drugs/cosmeceuticals with greater penetration within the dermis, especially the water soluble and lager molecules.
Indications
Skin rejuvenation
Anti-ageing
Acne-scars
Stretch marks
Blackheads/whiteheads
Sun damaged skin
Uneven complexion
Periorbital rejuvenation
Increasing penetration of cosmeceuticals and chemical peels
Post-procedure care
MDA has no down-time and requires minimal care.
Routine post-procedure instructions include the following:
