InUrSkn is more than just a skin a hair and body clinic. It is Dr. Sejal's promise of providing minimal intervention patient care which is holistic, personalized and humane.
Skin polishing or microdermabrasion is a procedure that involves removing superficial dead layers of the skin to reveal the underlying ‘fresh’ layer of skin and help stimulate fresh cell growth. This is among the most popular, proven and tested procedures.
This is a procedure that can be done on any part of the body that has uneven skin tone, rough texture, marks, etc. and not just be limited to the face or neck. Body polishing can be done on your back, hands, legs, feet, dark underarms, etc.
Also, this treatment benefits people with all skin tones and complexions.
Please note that procedure is different from skin exfoliation procedures done in spas and salons, as this is a controlled physical exfoliation with aid of a machine.
If you are concerned about the texture of your skin or its elasticity and have any of the below conditions, Microdermabrasion may be suitable for you.
If you are concerned about skin pigmentation and darkening and have any of the below conditions, Microdermabrasion may be suitable for you.
If you are concerned about signs of ageing showing on your face and have any of the below conditions, Microdermabrasion may be suitable for you.
Patients with active acne or acne scars also benefit from microdermabrasion. The ability of MDA to clear out the dead skin cells from teh surface of the skin and open up teh pores ensures that the bacterial growth is stunted. Also teh controlled abrasion does improve overall metabolism of skin cells imporving the texture of the skin over multiple sessions.
The most common reasons why patients seek full body skin rejuvenation are:
The body undergoes a natural process of exfoliation, where dead cells are constantly shed by the skin and new skin cells take their place. However due to environmental factors and lifestyle choices often this natural cycle of cellular turnover is disturbed. In this scenario a process like skin polishing or chemical peels which encourages cellular turnover is advantageous. The mild nature of mechanical abrasion in fact stimulates the skin cells and is known to help with neovascularization, improvement in blood flow and also stimulate collagen and elastin generation in the skin. The result is a fresher and younger looking skin that glows.
Largely, there are two types of microdermabrasion that are recommended by dermatologists and both are effective for their respective purpose.
1. With a probe, an aesthetician sprays mildly abrasive crystals on the treated area, which are then immediately vacuumed off.
2. A diamond-tipped probe that rotates at a high speed is used by a trained aesthetician to mildly abrade the skin.
A trained aesthetician will clean up your skin to remove unwanted dirt and dust that may hamper the procedure. Then, the aesthetician will move the probe across various areas of your face/the zone to be treated. The entire process is painless and takes between 20 to 30 minutes. Post procedure, the skin turns a bit pinkish and may feel taut for about 24 hours.
Probably the best thing about this procedure is that there is virtually no down time. However similar to any skin procedure, it is advisable to take a few precautions like:
Avoid direct sun exposure for 2 days.
Wear a broad spectrum sunscreen.
Use a moisturiser.
Use a mild face wash.
Do not scrub or rub your skin.
Do not apply makeup for 24 hours.
Do not use any creams or serums for 2 days.
Do not wax, thread or bleach for 7 to 10 days
Dr. Sejal also recommends that her patients undergo an ionisation (iontophoresis) treatment along with skin polishing. Ionisation is the process by which hydrating serums are professionally administered into the deeper layers of the skin. This helps in achieving better results in terms of younger, more supple skin.
The number one thing to consider when engaging in any beauty treatment is safety. Skin polishing is far safer than an exfoliation service that is done by hand with the aid of exfoliates which may or may not be scientifically approved for skincare purposes. Also, at any dermatology clinic, your treatment is always guided by the dermatologist who is fully qualified to take care of any eventualities.
In spas and beauty salons the exfoliation is done either by manual exfoliating scrubs or with the aid of dermatologically untested chemicals. It is best to avoid such procedures at any spa or salon.
Skin polishing mainly works on the upper/superficial layers of the skin. This helps expose the underlying fresher layer of skin, while getting rid of dead skin cells. On an immediate basis, the skin looks younger and more supple. The abrasive action also helps stimulate blood flow to the treated area and helps in generation of collagen and new skin cells. After multiple sessions, most patients observe improvement in skin texture and tone.

Indicative Prices
Since skin polishing is a mechanical abrasion process, done with controlled intensity there is practically no chance of a side effect. There maybe redness or mild swelling which automatically subsides in 24 hours.
Like all skin rejuvenation procedures, the longevity of the results depends on how one takes care of their skin. In case of non protected exposure to sunlight and pollution the results of skin polishing tends to go away. It is best to protect your skin from environmental factors such that there is a control in pigmentation and oxidative stress on the skin.
This is an absolute myth. There is no degradation in the condition of your skin in case one stops any skin rejuvenation treatment.
The recommended period between two skin polishing treatments in 30 days at minimum. However in most scenarios the dermatologist will combine skin polishing with other rejuvenative processes and hence one may end up doing skin polishing once in three to six months.
There is no down time associated with this procedure You can return to work and regular activities immediately after the procedure. However it is recommended to not have direct sun exposure and any other beauty treatments for upto 48 hours.
Absolutely. Both types of skin polishing procedures are done with machines that are very tightly controlled and have an excellent track record of safety with no side effects whatsoever. The only side effect one can expect is maybe a mild redness of the skin, which goes away in a few hours’ time.
