Microdermabrasion
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive aesthetic procedure that uses a device with diamond tips or fine crystals to gently exfoliate and remove the skin's surface layers.
This treatment promotes cell renewal, improves skin texture and tone, reduces the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, sun spots, acne scars and dilated pores. By stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, microdermabrasion provides a younger and more radiant appearance.
It is a safe and effective procedure, suitable for most skin types, and does not require downtime, allowing patients to resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

How is the procedure performed with microdermabrasion?
At Cliniq, the microdermabrasion procedure is done meticulously and safely to ensure optimal results. First, the patient’s skin is thoroughly cleaned to remove any impurity. Then, the specialist uses a device with diamond tips or fine crystals to gently exfoliate the surface layers of the skin.
During treatment, a controlled suction is applied to remove dead cells and stimulate blood circulation. The session lasts approximately 30 to 60 minutes, depending on the treated area. After exfoliation, a soothing serum and moisturizer are applied to nourish the skin and promote cell regeneration.
The patient may experience a slight redness, which disappears in a few hours, allowing him to resume his daily activities immediately.

In the microdermabrasion procedure performed at ClinIQ, anesthesia is not usually required. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment and well tolerated by most patients, causing only a slight feeling of exfoliation and sucking on the skin. If a patient has particularly sensitive skin or feels uncomfortable, the specialist can apply a topical anesthetic cream before the procedure to ensure a more comfortable experience. However, this is not commonly necessary.
The recovery of the microdermabrasion procedure in Cliniq is quick and easy. Immediately after treatment, it is common to experience mild redness and a sensation similar to that of a mild sunburn, which usually disappears in a few hours to a couple of days.
It is recommended to keep the skin well hydrated, avoid direct sun exposure, and apply broad-spectrum sunscreen to protect treated skin. No downtime is necessary, so patients can resume their daily activities immediately. The results, which include smoother, more radiant and even skin, are visible almost immediately and are improved with continuous treatments.
The microdermabrasion procedure generates minimal disability. Most patients can resume their daily activities immediately after treatment.

Post-treatment recommendations after a microdermabrasion procedure are essential to ensure adequate recovery and maximize results.
