MicrodermabrasionMicrodermabrasion is used to clarify aging skin, improve dull or uneven skin color, soften roughness, and smooth mild acne and minor skin abnormalities. Microdermabrasion is also effective in reducing fine lines, "crow's fee", age spots and acne scars. Microdermabrasion is a safe, effective way to rejuvenate the skin on your face, chest and even your back. The microdermabrasion technique exfoliates and gently resurfaces the skin, promoting the formation of new smoother, clearer skin while it stimulates the production of skin cells and collagen.Microdermabrasion uses a hand-held instrument and fine crystals to literally polish the surface of the skin. Each microdermabrasion treatment takes from 30 minutes to an hour. Results are visible in both skin texture and appearance with one microdermabrasion treatment, but multiple treatments, spaced 2 to 3 weeks apart, are generally recommended, as your skin will continue to improve with each treatment. The number required to reach the optimum results for you will be part of your personal treatment plan. Often Photorejuvenation/Intense Pulsed Light (IPL™) is recommended to enhance the results of mircrodermabrasion. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure, with minimal discomfort, virtually no side effects or recuperation period, is effective on all skin colors and types, requires no anesthetic and is excellent for skin sensitive to chemical procedures.
