I had hesitated for a very long time in getting a microdermabrasion because I had heard that it left your skin very red and I was very worried that the redness would turn into hyperpigmentation.
When you decide to spend half of your life learning about products and cosmetic treatments that help you age better, you’ve got to explore every facet of the industry and that includes treatments you’ve never tried before.
I went to Kristen Ma for my microdermabrasion because Pure and Simple Spa offered an alternative for sensitive skins.
The Pure and Simple spa offered an all natural sea salt microdermabrasion instead of the conventional microdermabrasion for a couple of reasons: first Kristen found that the sea salt microdermabrasion didn’t cause inflammation and the sea salt in an all natural product that follows the overall philosophy of their spa. Conventional microdermabrasion treatments use zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals, which are obviously not natural products and tend to leave the skin fairly red after a treatment.
The sea salt microdermabrasion treatment at Pure and Simple Spa lasted for about 90 minutes. The microdermabrasion session itself lasted about 20 minutes or so and the rest of the treatment consisted of deep massage with a nourishing oil (because microdermabrasion will leave your skin feeling dry), followed by a rejuvenating face mask.
I was expecting my face to be red after my treatment and since I had dinner plans that night, I had already told my friends that I’d be walking in with a red face, but to my surprise my face was not red at all.
The real results of a microdermabrasion come a few days if not one week after the treatment. I remember looking at my skin one week later and thinking: wow my skin is flawless.
The sea salt microdermabrasion treatment is ideal for my sensitive skin and it’s an ideal way to help me deal with my dark spots.
According to Kristen, you’ll need to maintain a regimen of one treatment every six weeks or so and in many cases you can replace your traditional facial appointment with a microdermabrasion or your can also indulge in a luxury session that includes the microdermabrasion and a traditional facial (with extractions).
If you’re looking into microdermabrasion to solve obvious facial scars and flaws, you’ll need to consider at least six treatments initial treatments followed by maintenance appointments.
Most medical spas and many traditional spas offer microdermabrasion treatments, but very few offer a sea salt alternative that’s all natural. You’ll be able to find more information on Pure and Simple Spas if one of their three spas are located near you, if not, you’ll want to enquire in your area to find a spa that offers the treatment. The best place to start if to find spas that are leaning more towards selling natural and organic products.
