Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion improves mild to moderate sun damage, scarring, wrinkles and other superficial skin problems. A gentle stream of tiny particles exfoliates the outer layer of skin and provides a fresh, glowing, younger appearance. Only a small amount of skin is removed, so sensitive areas such as the face, chest, neck, arms and hands can be treated.

Microdermabrasion rejuvenates the skin in a number of ways. The combination of skin exfoliation and slight vacuum stimulates fibroblasts (collagen cells) to produce new healthy, living cells in the superficial layer of the skin. As a result, your skin becomes smoother in texture and tighter with a fresh, clean look.

It is called the “Lunch-Time Peel” because of its quick, easy application and no recovery time. You are able to return to work, use make-up and cleanse daily almost immediately after treatment.

Microdermabrasion is performed in a progressive, rather than aggressive, manner. Optimum results are obtained through a series of treatments, typically for up to eight treatments, spaced 10-14 days apart.

There is virtually no healing time required with microdermabrasion. The average time for complete cell regeneration is 4-5 weeks. At the end of that time, significant results are evident in the majority of patients.

Results are comparable to a light chemical peel and should be immediately visible. Microdermabrasion is often performed in conjunction with other skin renewal procedures, such as laser treatment and chemical peels. Multiple treatments are recommended for full effect. Packages are available.
