Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen. Microdermabrasion can correct rough skin texture, some types of scarring, uneven pigmentation, and age (liver) spots. It can also remove or improve whiteheads and blackheads, some stretch marks, and fine wrinkles. By removing superficial layers of the skin, microdermabrasion allows new skin to appear. Microdermabrasion can be used for all skin types and skin tones. For best results, it can be repeated as often as once a week.

The procedure is simple and pain free. The doctor or aesthetician uses a specially designed device which emits crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting in a gentle abrasion or "polishing" process combined with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. Each treatment takes from 30 minutes to an hour. The number of treatments recommended for maximal results can range between 5 and 12, spaced from 1 to 3 weeks apart. Maintenance of results requires periodic repeat treatments after the initial regimen is completed.
