Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure that allows you to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin in an afternoon!  As explained in medical journals and a host of women’s magazines, the microdermabrasion procedure uses a fine mist of crystals to smooth skin. The combination of the fine abrasive action of the crystals is coupled with a vacuum suction to remove the dead outer layer of skin bringing out the new, softer skin with a more even texture to the surface. Because microdermabrasion is so precise, the procedure is virtually pain-free.

Microdermabrasion is most utilized to reduce wrinkles and deep folds of the cheeks and neck as well as around the mouth. The procedure is commonly used for men and women with moderate acne scarring and some facial scars.

Microdermabrasion is ideal to treat sun-damaged skin, age spots, superficial pigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles.  Clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads, and some acne scars can all be treated. The neck and chest can also be treated to blend the skin and remove any sun damage often found in that area.

A complete microdermabrasion program is usually several treatments depending on your specific needs. Microdermabrasion can complement the natural skin cycle to aid in healing and rejuvenation.  It is important to realize that immediate smoothing of skin texture is accompanied also by long-term skin healing and deep tissue rejuvenation.  Several separate sessions/procedures are required to obtain an optimal result.

The procedure requires no downtime, little discomfort during the procedure, and no anesthesia or recovery time. Patients can immediately return to their normal activities. All skin colors can be treated. It is a wonderful way to achieve younger, vibrant-looking skin while still keeping up with your busy lifestyle.

Microdermabrasion is one of the safest rejuvenation procedures on the market today. In the hands of skilled professionals, microdermabrasion can enhance the results of other skin rejuvenating procedures and products. It is unusual to develop any complications from this treatment.  Frequently, microdermabrasion is accompanied by refreshing chemical peels and other procedures.
