Microdermabrasion in Miami, FL

When you run your hands over your face, does your complexion feel smooth and soft or rough, like sandpaper? If your skin has a rough, dull feel, the outer layer may be clogged with dead and damaged skin cells. At Body Art Rejuvenation in Miami, FL, nurse practitioner Sheila Arniella offers cosmetic services, like nonsurgical skin resurfacing with microdermabrasion. Quick and effective, microdermabrasion treatments remove the upper layer of damaged skin so your complexion is brighter and healthier. This procedure may be performed alone or along with a complementary cosmetic treatment, like a dermal filler or chemical peel, for greater improvements.

At Body Art Rejuvenation, many Miami, FL individuals obtain many benefits associated with their microdermabrasion treatments and usually come to our office for additional sessions. A handful of the benefits this rejuvenation treatment provides include:

• Renewing and smoothing the appearance of your skin
• Leveling out coarse or bumpy skin texture
• Clearing away damaged and dead skin cells on the skin surface
• Promoting a luminous, glowing complexion

Microdermabrasion sessions may reduce the visibility of blemishes on the skin's surface such as uneven texture, dull skin tone, fine lines, clogged pores, sun damage, and scars. It is safe and effective for people of all skin tone and type that want healthier, clearer skin. These treatments are usually performed on the face, but it may also be performed on your neck, chest, and hands. This procedure shouldn't be performed on skin that has an open wound or a chronic skin condition, such as acne or rosacea.

For this treatment, you will be asked to relax in a treatment chair as your face is prepared. The microdermabrasion handpiece will run along your skin as it polishes and sucks up the dead skin and crystals. While the process may feel unusual, it not considered uncomfortable so you shouldn't need a local anesthetic or numbing cream. The handpiece of the device will be applied evenly over the chosen areas but with extra care on the delicate skin around the eyes. After the process is done, the skin will be lightly cleansed to remove any leftover debris before a moisturizer, chosen for your skin type with sun protection, is massaged into the skin.

How often should I get microdermabrasion treatments?
To start, you may need anywhere from 5 – 12 microdermabrasion sessions every 2 – 4 weeks to rejuvenate your complexion. After that, you may move to appointments every 1 – 2 months to maintain your skin's health. During your initial consultation, your technician will create a treatment plan with recommendations specific to your skin's needs that plan out how often you should schedule your next appointment for microdermabrasion.

How should I care for my skin after a microdermabrasion treatment?
After your microdermabrasion procedure, you should avoid strenuous activity for at least 24 hours to give your skin time to rest and heal. You need to avoid UV rays (natural sunlight or tanning beds) and shield your skin with sunscreen. To limit swelling and redness after the procedure, a member of our team at Body Art Rejuventation might suggest a serum or other skin product.

Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?
You may consider combining microdermabrasion with another procedure since it is a surface skin treatment. You may get microdermabrasion with a facial or an injectable wrinkle treatment, like BOTOX®. Please be clear about all your aesthetic concerns in your initial consultation so your technician can develop a treatment plan that meets all your cosmetic goals.
