TL;DR:
- Microdermabrasion: Exfoliates dead skin cells using abrasive crystals/heads; reduces acne, wrinkles, scars, and hyperpigmentation. Results visible after 1 session; best results achieved with 2–20 sessions. Non-invasive, no downtime.
- Chemical Peeling (Mandelic Acid): Gentle peeling for wrinkles, pigmentation, and anti-aging; suitable all year for all skin types. Results in skin brightening, cleansing, and renewal. Minimal redness and gradual peeling.
- Laser Treatment (Hyperpigmentation): Emits focused light to exfoliate pigmented cells; discoloration visibly lightens in 3–7 days. Requires 1–3 sessions. Non-invasive, rarely requires anesthesia.
- Dermapen: Microneedling introduces nutrients into skin layers, regenerates and nourishes skin. Effects visible after 2–3 sessions, full results after a month. Mild redness and swelling may occur post-treatment.
- All methods are safe with noticeable improvements for quick skin rejuvenation.
Facial skin and its condition are the business card of each of us, so systematic care is very important. However, if for some reason it is necessary to achieve visible results in a very short time, it is also possible. Today's cosmetology and aesthetic medicine have developed a lot. Before meeting with friends or attending a social event, we are particularly concerned about the good appearance of our complexion. At our disposal (depending on our needs and the time we have) are skin cleansing treatments, laser therapy, or chemical peels, among others.
Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion, an epidermal exfoliation treatment, is one of the most effective methods for cleansing and refreshing facial skin. This treatment deeply cleanses the skin and restores its elasticity. It involves mechanical exfoliation of keratinized epidermis. Microdermabrasion uses aluminum or alumina microcrystals, diamond heads, oxygen, and saline solutions. This treatment can reduce acne lesions, hyperpigmentation, wrinkles and scars.
The course of microdermabrasion treatment.
Before the procedure, a thorough cleansing of the facial skin is performed – from makeup, sebum, sweat and impurities. When performing the procedure, a device with diamond abrasive heads or nozzles that eject abrasive particles is used. The epidermis that has been removed is sucked into a special container. For better results, after the treatment, the skin is covered with soothing masks, tailored to the individual needs of the client.
Effects of microdermabrasion treatment.
The effects are noticeable after the first treatment. Microdermabrasion does not require convalescence. For best results, two to twenty treatments are recommended at specific intervals.
Chemical peeling with mandelic acid.
This treatment is performed to get rid of, among other things, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation and to regenerate facial skin. The substance extracted from bitter almonds (contained in almond oil) has valuable antibacterial and revitalizing properties. The peel can be used at any time of the year and for different skin types.
Course of treatment
The steps involved in applying a chemical peel with mandelic acid take about 20 minutes, and the procedure is completely painless. Chemical peeling with mandelic acid is one of the most gentle methods of this treatment.
Effects of the treatment
After the peeling, mild redness may appear on the skin. This effect disappears after a few hours. The exfoliation of the skin is gradual, so it can be easily masked with moisturizing creams. Mandelic acid peeling causes brightening and cleansing of the skin, stimulates skin cells to renew, which gives the possibility of an anti-aging effect.
Laser treatments
Laser removal of hyperpigmentation involves the emission of light, which is absorbed by the cells that make up the hyperpigmentation. With this treatment, the epidermis is locally exfoliated and the stain is removed.
Course of treatment
The laser treatment for removal of hyperpigmentation is a kind of massage. When it is performed, we may feel warmth and a light patting of the skin. In some cases, patients are given local anesthesia (but very rarely, as the procedure is completely painless). After the procedure, the discoloration will gradually darken. In the next stage there will be a gradual peeling of the skin, and finally a lightening.
Effects of the treatment
The effects will be noticeable within 3 – 7 days after the treatment. Typically, 1 – 3 treatments are performed to remove the discoloration.
Dermapen
Dermapen is a device that resembles a pen in appearance. It has many needles, which, by pulsing, introduce nutrients into the deep layers of the skin. As a result, the treatment causes the skin to regenerate and improve its condition. The treatment is used to nourish the skin and restore its elasticity.
Course of treatment
The gentle pricking of the skin by the device may cause a sensation of mild burning or pinching. The activity takes about 30 minutes. Dermapen' micro-punctures stimulate the skin to regenerate. The depth of the punctures is selected individually and depends on the client's needs. During the procedure, a special nutrient preparation is injected into the skin, which moistens and restores skin tone.
Effects of the treatment
After the procedure, we may feel mild itching and burning, and the skin may be accompanied by redness and swelling, but they subside after a few days. The effects of the treatment are noticeable after about 2 – 3 cycles of treatment. The full effect will be visible one month after the last injections. Thus, this is a solution for people who plan in advance for a party outing. We should take care of our facial skin all the time. However, if for some reason we want a quick result, we can use some of the methods mentioned. They are completely safe and guarantee results within a certain time.
Conclusion
Quick skin transformations are achievable with advanced treatments like microdermabrasion, chemical peels, laser therapy, and Dermapen. Each option offers unique benefits, from exfoliation to targeted rejuvenation, depending on your goals and timeframe. While these methods provide immediate results, maintaining consistent care ensures long-term skin health. Choose a treatment tailored to your needs and enjoy youthful, refreshed skin. Investing in your skin isn't just about appearance—it's about feeling confident and radiant in every moment.
