Spas are an excellent place to get relaxed and feel pampered. The bizarre services available at the day spa aim at increasing the physical appearance, happiness and productivity of their customers. Amongst the various services offered at a spa, two treatments are especially advantageous. These are Microdermabrasion and micro peels treatment. Read this article to know more about these treatments and find out which would suit you best.
Microdermabrasion:
- It is a technique used to exfoliate and remove the outermost layer of skin. This is done by using a special instrument, which is a wand with a tip, that gently rubs some sensitive areas of the skin while deeply exfoliates others. The instrument works without using crystals that are too hard and cause abrasions that are used in other similar types of treatment systems.
- Microdermabrasion can be used for the treatment of a variety of conditions like whiteheads, blackheads, pigmentation problems, wrinkles and fine lines.
- It takes about 30-40 minutes for the treatment to get completed. After the treatment, the skin may appear little pinkish or may even look like a sunburn or windburn. In certain cases, the skin may be even seen to exfoliate. If you have been treated for removing blemishes or thick skin your skin might appear swollen for some time.
- The Microdermabrasion technique aims at providing your skin a healthy shine. And is less painful and time consuming as compared to other treatments that cause much discomfort.
Micro Peels:
- If you looking for a lustrous and clearer complexion, micro peel treatment at a day spa would be the best for you. Like the Microdermabrasion, the micro peel technique is also less disruptive and time consuming.
- There are different degrees of peels used to penetrate till different levels of skin. These degrees are determined on the basis of your skin type, the result you desire and the amount of skin damage. It is generally considered that the intensity of peel is directly proportional to its result. However, it may take more time for the recovery of such deeper peels.
- These peels are left to last on the skin for 30-45 minutes giving the face a slight pink appearance after the peel. You might observe scales, flakes and even dryness on the skin that can be controlled with a topical emollient.
Summary:
Both, the Microdermabrasion and micro peels are efficient in providing a healthy, lustrous and dazzling glow to your face and skin.
