Botox injections require a small needle going under the skin which is filled with something that is related to food poisoning. Face-lifts are expensive and invasive, not to mention, you are under anesthesia and have surgical wraps to cover your scars for at least a week or more. With Microdermabrasion Huntington, you can enjoy what is referred to as a lunchtime face-lift that may cause slight discomfort but there is no invasive techniques or anesthesia required.
Microdermabrasion does not use any invasive techniques or harsh chemicals that, depending on the physician or technical assistant, can do more harm than good. The technique instead utilizes very fine crystals to perform an exfoliation of sorts. Depending on the skin condition, a more powerful vacuum may also be used in conjunction with the crystals to get rid of dead skin cells. The removal of old cells gives way to youthful more collagen ingested cells that promote healthy and youthful cells on the skin surface.
After meeting with a doctor for a consultation of the skin, a typical recommendation of five to eight treatments is necessary. Each treatment lasts about one hour and the price is generally $100 per session. Acne scars and abnormal discoloration may require an upwards of 10 sessions to even out the skin tone.
The best thing about the Microdermabrasion Huntington that apart from not wearing makeup the same day as the procedure, you can go back to your normal activities afterward. There may be a slight discomfort such as you would feel after a windstorm or swimming and the face may feel a little tight, but other than that, your skin is normal with no visual side effects.
The only time that the crystal using exfoliating facial procedure is not recommended is if a patient is pregnant or nursing. Often times the skin is already sensitive and not acting normal, so a microdermabrasion appointment may not do anything to help the skin condition. Also, much like nursing or pregnant patients, patients considering the procedure are recommended to be over 14 years old, so that hormones will not change the effects of an appointment or numerous appointments.
