MicrodermabrasionMicrodermabrasion is a non-invasive epidermal treatment that removes the dead and damaged surface layer of skin cells to reveal healthier new skin cells underneath. This stimulates the deeper dermal layer of skin to produce more collagen and elastin, giving the skin a younger, firmer, more supple appearance. Medical-quality microderm-abrasion blasts or "abrades" skin with aluminum oxide crystals applied by a our trained aesthetician. |
Your skin will feel vibrant and healthy and you will notice an immediate difference in your softer, smoother skin. There is virtually no recovery time, no discomfort and you can return to work immediately.
A series of microdermabrasion treatments can help reduce the look of fine lines and superficial wrinkles, remove thickened skin areas due to the impact of environmental factors and reduce the appearance of blemishes caused by sun damage. Additionally, microdermabrasion can reduce the appearance of open pores by unclogging sebum (oil) build-up and eliminate white and black heads.
Q: What can I expect during a treatment?
A: Patients have attributed the sensation of a microdermabrasion treatment to a slight windburn. The discomfort is usually quite minimal, if at all. The treatments typically last 20 to 30 minutes for the face.
A normal course of microdermabrasion treatments varies between 4 to 8 at approximately 2 week intervals. It is recommended that you schedule an additional treatment every couple of months to maintain your skin. Most patients actually feel and see a difference after one or two treatments.
