What Are The Benefits of Microdermabrasion? NJ Skin Care Expert Answers

Question: Hi Valentina. I just turned 50, but I don’t want to look it! What is Microdermabrasion and can it help turn back the clock??

Valentina: Microdermabrasion is a treatment that is performed to obtain a deep exfoliation of the outer most layer of skin. Some spas use a wand that has little bits of crushed diamonds. The diamonds brush across the skin’s surface blasting away dead and dehydrated skin cells. At the same time, a powerful vacuum sensation quickly inhales the crushed diamonds and dead skin cells after they make their way across your skin’s surface. Other spas use a crystal free method, where a wand is used with a powerful suction force that lifts dead skin cells and impurities right off your face. I prefer the crystal free as it is less abrasive to the skin.

This is an excellent skin re-surfacing technique that reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage over time.

Why Microdermabrasion?

There are numerous benefits to microdermabrasion. The procedure is a quick and painless way to rejuvenate and refresh the overall appearance of your skin. One of the most noteworthy advantages is that there is no downtime after treatment.

Think of how a snake sheds its skin. We need to do the same. When we remove the outer most layer of skin that has become clogged with impurities and dead cells, our complexion instantly looks brighter and more vibrant. Although you may not realize it, impurities within the skin have a grayish tint. Once you remove them, you will see a big difference.

If you are serious about beginning an anti-aging regimen, consider alternating between microdermabrasion and a gentle chemical peel. Both treatments work in conjunction to help shed old layers of skin that have become creased with wrinkles and damaged by the sun. You will be amazed at the results!

WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION AND WHATARE THE BENEFITS

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a deep exfoliation of the stratum corneum (the outermost layer of skin consisting of built up dead skin cells). Also referred to as microderm, this powerful and progressive skin re-surfacing technique targets and reduces the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, superficial scarring, stretch marks, acne, and sun damage.

Why Microdermabrasion?

There are numerous benefits to microdermabrasion. The procedure is a quick and painless way to rejuvenate and refresh the overall appearance of your skin. One of the most noteworthy advantages is that there is no downtime after treatment. In less than one hour, patients can be in and out and back at work with no major signs of irritation. For this reason, micro is sometimes referred to as the ‘lunch time facial’.

A treatment will gently buff or massage your facial tissues removing dead skin cells, oil, and entrenched impurities. A new skin surface is revealed, healthier and revitalized.

What are the benefits of regular microdermabrasion?

I recommend a microdermabrasion treatment to all of my clients once every 3 months. Whether you use a $7 Oil of Olay moisturizer or a $700 bottle of Crème de La Mer, you want the product to do what it promises to do. No product, no matter how expensive it is, can penetrate through layers of dead skin cells.

Regular and deep exfoliation of the stratum corneum (outer most layer of dead skin cells) will allow penetration and performance of your favorite beauty cream. Get the results you paid for and protect your investment. You must do your part so that the product can do its.

4 times a year is typically all that is needed from your microdermabrasion treatments. Do not be fooled by spas that are telling you to buy six sessions. Most women only need a treatment once every three months to enjoy the benefits of regular microdermabrasion.

THE MONTH OF THE MICRODERMABRASION

Completely Fresh, Completely New!

Your skin may look and feel clean, but what you don’t see are the hidden layers of dead skin.

Summer can wreak havoc on our skin cells causing layers of dehydrated cells to accumulate at the skin’s surface.

AQUAMEDICA is bringing summer to a close with a month long of microdermabrasion skin resurfacing.
Don’t waste time or money applying products to skin that has not been properly exfoliated. Products can not penetrate through the hidden layers of dead and dry skin.
Start the month out fresh and put your best face forward!

Valentina’s Signature Skin Renewal Facial.
The facial starts with a warm cleansing and light exfoliation. An enzyme peel is applied to gently disintegrate dead cells at the skin’s surface. Once the dead cells have been buffed away, a deep pore cleansing removes impurities within clogged pores. Finally, a powerful sweep of the face with Aquamedica’s crystal-free microdermabrsion wand reveals visibly fresh and renewed skin.



Located on the famed Pier Village beachfront boardwalk, Aquamedica Day Spa and Salon is truly a destination promising tranquility and serenity.

VITAMIN C AFFECTS SKIN AGING.

WHY VITAMIN "C" FACIAL?

Skin aging is greatly influenced by several factors including genetics, environment (e.g., sun exposure) and lifestyle (e.g., diet and smoking).

Skin aging affects both the function and the appearance of the skin.

Signs of skin aging include fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, thinning skin (atrophy) and broken blood vessels.

These dermal changes have been noted by a number of studies that investigated the relationship between nutrient intake and skin health or photoprotection.

One of the reasons why a higher level of vitamin C intake may be associated with a better skin-aging appearance is due to the antioxidant activity of this nutrient. Another explanation may lie in the photo-protective effect of vitamin C on the skin, which has been documented in a number of well-designed studies.

Vitamin "C" is a powerful antioxidant that helps neutralize the damaging effects of free radicals, stress and sunlight. Vitamin "C" stimulates the growth of collagen, which is responsible for maintaining elasticity and this is why we highly recommend this facial as a part of your Vitamin C program.

Microdermabrasion is so great for Brides!

Microdermabrasion: Not just for mature skin

An excellent advanced exfoliation method. Not only is Micro for mature skin types to decrease fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating blood circulation and promoting collagen production but it is also great for those with young skin.

Young skin benefits from Micro because it promotes healthy skin turnover, reveals a smoother complexion and rids the skin of any build up of dead skin cells.

Why Microdermabrasion is so great for Brides?

It giving you that youthful, glowing skin that every bride dreams about having on her wedding day (and in her wedding photos !)

Microdermabrasion is so great at exfoliating the skin, make-up artists have started to refer their clients to have a Microdermabrasion treatment anywhere from a week to a couple of days before their wedding. This will create a smooth, even palate for the make-up artist to apply foundation on.

The foundation goes so smoothly onto the skin that it creates an “air brushed” look. Your make-up will be flawless, never caked or flaky. For a bride that wants to look her absolute best in her wedding photos, Microdermabrasion is the perfect way to achieve it.
