MICRODERMABRASION
Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial
skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. A
device like a fine sandblaster is used to spray tiny crystals across the
face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer
of skin.
Microdermabrasion is a simple, quick and
convenient procedure that has become very popular with patients showing
the early signs of aging, sun exposure and other facial imperfections.
Non-invasive and non-wounding to the skin's surface, the procedure entails
virtually no discomfort, down time or recovery. Patients typically
experience some redness for about an hour after the procedure.
In addition to the face, microdermabrasion can be successfully used on the
neck, arms and hands. It is also beneficial for patients with darker skin
types. This rejuvenation method is generally indicated for:
Dull, oily or leathery skin texture
Contracting enlarged pores
Exfoliating and suctioning clogged pores in acne cases
Polishing and reducing fine lines
Mild acne scarring
Mild pigment irregularities
Enhancing penetration of therapeutic agents
Benefits of Microdermabrasion Include:
Virtually no side effects.
Gives the skin an overall fresh, healthy-looking glow.
Nonsurgical, safe, effective "lunch hour" procedure.
Effective on all skin colors and types.
No anesthetic required.
Excellent for skin sensitive to chemical procedures.
Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
