Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, safe and effective way to combat the signs of aging by removing dead and flaking cells, creating an immediate improvement in your skin's appearance. This skin treatment is a physical form of exfoliation that helps to smooth out fine lines and wrinkles from around the eyes, lips and neck. It also helps to minimize stretch marks and scars left from acne and other injuries. Individuals with uneven skin tones and those with freckling and other discolorations will also benefit from microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is an ideal, convenient treatment for many people, including:

people who cannot afford to take time off for healing from chemicals or lasers
active patients who don't want to put off outdoor or social activities like tennis, golf or skiing
individuals with skin that is sensitive to chemicals or make-up
those with acne-prone skin that has not responded well to acne remedies
younger patients with early skin changes who wish for softer, smoother skin

The skin is thoroughly cleansed before a microdermabrasion treatment. A hand-held wand deposits micro-crystals of aluminum oxide crystals onto the epidermis, or top layer of skin. This technique delivers a gentle abrasion which removes the dead surface cells that give the skin a dull and ruddy appearance. As these loose cells are vacuumed back into the machine, healthier, brighter and more youthful-looking skin is revealed.

Microdermabrasion can achieve smoothing results in as little as twenty minutes with treatments usually lasting about 10 - 30 minutes. After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh pink glow. Improvement will continue throughout your treatment schedule. Four to ten microdermabrasion treatments are recommended to achieve optimum results.
