Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin treatment that removes the upper layer of dead skin cells from the face, bringing a healthy under layer of skin to the surface. The dead skin cells are vacuumed into the machine’s hand piece, revealing cleaner, smoother, and softer skin. This treatment also stimulates healthy cell regeneration by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, refining pore size, and minimizing skin imperfections. Microdermabrasion also stimulates blood flow to the face, promoting collagen growth, which provides a younger looking complexion.

Microdermabrasion will provide patients with younger, smoother, and softer looking skin as the under layer of skin will be revealed. Concerns like skin tone and texture, fine lines and wrinkles, scarring and sun damage, and scarring are targeted as well. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment with no downtime required as well. The treatment should be completely painless and should take no longer than 30 minutes, so patients can return to their daily activities and easily fit it into their schedules.

While patients will likely be able to notice brighter skin after one treatment, it is recommended that a series of 3 or more treatments are done to see lasting, optimum results. Treatments should be done at least 4 weeks apart, and can be done as often as monthly after this for maintenance purposes. Your technician will be able to discuss how often this treatment should be done for your skin concerns.

There is no specific preparation needed for microdermabrasion treatments. Patients are encouraged to come to the clinic with a bare face. After the treatment is complete, there should be no tanning of any kind for the two weeks post treatment.
