Microdermabrasion is an intensive treatment using special micro crystals to deeply exfoliate and immediately improve the appearance of the skin. Microdermabrasion is known to make your skin appear more plump and smooth, which are the characteristics of younger skin.

 

Microdermabrasion is a system that allows a jet of fine, natural, mineral crystals (Corundum Powder) to be brushed onto the surface of the skin where it abrades dry, dead or redundant cell tissue with little trauma, but with high precision which had therefore been unattainable with other techniques.

 

Microdermabrasion can be used for many different problems:

 

Face Care:  Acne Skin, Acne Scars, Fine Lines, Wrinkles, Rosacea, Blemishes, Dehydrated Skin, Dry Skin, Oil Skin, Broken Capillaries, Chicken Pox Scars, Rough Uneven Skin.

Better pores: Deep exfoliation combined with suction power can unclog your pores and make them appear smaller over time. As we age, our pores get larger with sagging, loose skin, which makes it difficult to achieve a smooth canvas for makeup application. Microdermabrasion, however, can help restore the youthful texture of your skin by tightening your pores.

Scalp Care:  Seborrhea, Oily Scalp, Dry Scalp, Alopecia

Body Care:  Stretch Marks (Striae), Back Treatment, Sun Damaged Skin, Acne Back Treatment, Hands

Minor Skin Abnormalities:  Hypertrophic Scars, Keloids, Hyperpigmentation, Small Tattoo Removal, Permanent Make-up Removal, Seborrheic Keratosis

 

What are a Micro-Dermabrasion treatments like?

 

With the aid of micro-crystals vacuumed through a delicate hand piece, held at a precise angle to the skin, an aesthetician effects a superficial skin polishing. In as little as twenty minutes this gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through a course of weekly sessions. Micro-Dermabrasion enhance skin condition and do what no other available treatment can (without surgery) in combating the signs of aging skin. Most importantly, it is safe to use on all skin types and colors.

 

Does Micro-Dermabrasion hurt?

 

No. The Micro-Dermabrasion peels the skin, but it is not painful and does not require pre-treatment or topical anesthesia.

How many times does the Micro-Dermabrasion need to be performed to achieve results?

 

The average patient requires between 5-9 treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart to see results. However, it appears that because patients do see continuing results, many choose to have the procedure performed monthly as a maintenance treatment.

 

What results can you expect?

 

Depending on the area treated, you will notice an improvement in your skin's appearance. Acne scars will be less obvious. Age spots and fine lines are erased and many patients report that their skin seems to be softer, smoother and younger-looking.

 

What to expect after procedure?

1. Skin Peeling. The skin may feel tight as if exposed to the sun or wind for a while after treatment. Some skins may peel. 
2. Slight Redness & Swelling.  Deeper treatment level for more blemished or thicker skins. The skin will appear slightly red and swollen from a few hours to a few days for more sensitive skins. Some skins may peel.

Are there any risks with the procedure?

 

There are minimal risks with the procedure, the most common side effect being redness of the skin which usually is gone after 24-48 hours and easily covered with makeup; however, men having the procedure performed are finding that the redness is minor and short lasting.
