All About Microdermabrasion in Dubai: Procedure, Price, Where to Get

Microdermabrasion: this relatively painless, non-surgical technique in Dubai may be used to freshen and rejuvenate the skin by using a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand the skin, exfoliating the thicker, uneven outer layer and relive a fresh younger looking skin with a healthy glow.

Although the face is the most common area for microdermabrasion, any skin area, including neck, chest, back, and hands, may be treated

Regular skin treatments can stimulate collagen production and thicken it leading to a smoother younger looking skin, and because of that doctors can use it to soften and remove the appearance of pores and fine lines and allows for skincare products to absorb more readily.

The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it. A different microdermabrasion technique sprays fine particles of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a vacuum/suction to accomplish the same outcome as the abrasive surface.

Microdermabrasion in Dubai is an in-office procedure that usually takes about one hour. It’s typically performed by a DHA licensed skincare professional, on the supervision of Dr. Kamil Al Rustom. At the end of the treatment, a moisturizer as well as sunscreen will be applied to your skin.

There are a few different ways to do the procedure, based on the specific device used, Dr. Kamil Al Rustom Skin & Laser Centre offers the Crystal Microdermabrasion (Diamond Microdermabrasion or Crystal Peeling).

What is crystal microdermabrasion?

Crystal microdermabrasion (peel) in Dubai uses a crystal-emitting handpiece to gently spray on fine crystals to rub away outer layers of the skin. The depth of the abrasion may be affected by the pressure applied on the handpiece as well as how long the suction is allowed to remain on the skin.

Crystal Peeling is a facial procedure during which fine crystal powder is rubbed across the face skin to exfoliate it, removing the dead skin to reveal a smoother a more youthful layer. A Crystal Peel is the right choice for oily and normal skin.

There is little to no downtime after microdermabrasion. You should be able to resume your daily activities immediately, but avoid sun and excessive sweating.

Keep your skin hydrated and use gentle skin care products. Avoid using topical acne medications for at least one day after treatment. It’s extremely important to protect your skin with sunscreen as your skin can be more sensitive to the sun in the few weeks after the treatment.

You can expect to see noticeable results immediately after the procedure. The number of microdermabrasion sessions needed will depend on the severity of your skin concerns as well as your expectations.

Microdermabrasion should be 5-12 sessions (depending on the indication) apart 2 weeks at first and then one per month as part of a maintenance plan.
