Some frequently asked questions about laser vein removal:
Q: How Does Microdermabrasion work?
A: It is a gentle exfoliation performed with a jet of fine mineral crystals passing over the skin's surface by creating a gentle vacuum. The crystals lay on the skin along with the dead/damaged skin cells. The crystals gently exfoliate approximately 20-25 microns of dead skin on the outmost layer.
Q: What body areas can be treated?
A: Most common areas of treatment are the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, hands, knees, and elbows. Conditions which are addressed with microdermabrasion include: face and body peeling; lined, wrinkled or damaged skin; dull congested, thick or blemished skin; active acne; scar improvement; hyper pigmentation.
Q: How many treatments will I need?
A: This treatment is meant to be progressive, not aggressive. Generally, results are more noticeable after the third treatment. Treatments are usually performed every 7-10 days or every two weeks of a series of 6 treatments.
Q: How long does each treatment take?
A: The actual treatment usually take 15-40 minutes, depending on the body area. The treatment is applied to clean skin. After, a moisturizing cream with sun block is usually applied.
Q: Are there any side effects?
A: Since there is minimal discomfort and no healing time, you can resume normal activities immediately after a treatment. You may experience a slight tingling and the skin may feel tighter, as if exposed to the wind or the sun. Your skin may appear slightly flushed. This generally fades in 12 -24 hours. |
