Microdermabrasion
Is a non-invasive cosmetic treatment that uses a device with a diamond-tipped wand or fine crystals to exfoliate and remove the outer layer of dead skin cells from the face, neck, chest, or other areas of the body.
This treatment aims to improve skin texture, reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, and minimize hyperpigmentation or age spots.
During the procedure, the skin is cleansed and prepared, and then the microdermabrasion device is applied to the skin. The wand or crystals gently abrade the skin’s surface, removing the dead skin cells and stimulating the production of collagen and elastin, which are essential for healthy skin. The treatment is painless, and patients usually experience a sensation similar to mild sandpaper moving across their skin.
Microdermabrasion can be a stand-alone treatment, but it is often combined with other skincare treatments like chemical peels, LED light therapy, or facials for enhanced results. It is suitable for most skin types and can be customized to address specific skin concerns. The results of microdermabrasion are typically noticeable after one treatment, but a series of treatments may be recommended for optimal results.

In addition to providing a more contoured and shapely figure, Lipo 3D can also improve self-confidence and body image. Patients may also experience a boost in their overall health and well-being, as excess fat around the waist, hips, and thighs can increase the risk of various health conditions.
Lipo 3D typically involves making small incisions in the targeted areas and using a cannula (a thin, hollow tube) to suction out fat cells. The procedure is usually performed under general anesthesia and can take several hours, depending on the extent of the treatment. Recovery time varies, but patients should expect to take some time off work and avoid strenuous activity for a few weeks following the surgery.
Like any surgery, Lipo 3D carries some risks, including bleeding, infection, and scarring. It is important to carefully follow your plastic surgeon's pre- and post-operative instructions to minimize these risks. Additionally, patients should be aware that Lipo 3D is not a weight loss procedure and that maintaining a healthy diet and exercise regimen is necessary to maintain the results of the surgery.
