Maximize Your Microdermarbasion

Hooked on microdermabrasion...me too! Every client that is a newbie to microdermabrasion becomes hooked...actually addicted. Nothing is better than having the skin of a babies butt, clearing breakouts & minimizing fine lines and wrinkles. Today I'm going to talk about different ways to maximize your microdermabrasion. 

1) Enzyme/peel first. Microdermabrasion second. 

Enzyme and/or peel softens the stratum corneum first then the microdermabrasion mechanically exfoliates more surface skin.

 End result:

More polished & softer skin. More effective at removing the surface of the skin. 

Best For: Closed comedones (remove surface so trapped oil can escape). Rough & dry skin. 

2) Microdermabrasion first. Enzyme/peel after. 

Mechanically exfoliating the skin. Next enzyme/peel penetrates further into the skin. 

End Result: 

Better penetration of the peel, deeper into the skin to the melanocytes. More flaking. 

Best For: Pigmentation where you need to deliver skin lighteners, texture issues where you want the end result to be lots of peeling. 

3) Enzyme first. Microdermabrasion second. Finish with peel. 

Enzyme softens stratum corneum. Microdermabrasion buffs or polishes skin for further penetration. Peel penetrates deeper into the skin. 

End Result: Ultimate penetration of the peel, deeper into the skin for acne & pigmentation. 

Best For: Resilient skin; acne and pigmentation, texture issues. Lots of peeling. 

I recommend having a regular microdermabrasion prior to adding onto it. It is always ideal to see how your skin reacts to the microdermabrasion alone.
