Microdermabrasion
is a skin rejuvenation procedure which smooths wrinkles
and fine lines, improves the appearance of scars,
reduces the size of pores, and removes age and sun
spots. It can be considered to be an intense mechanical
treatment which removes the top layer of the skin.

HOW
DOES IT WORK? |
| |
A controlled spray of very fine aluminum
oxide is applied to the surface of the skin, removing
the upper layer of the epidermis. While emitting
the spray, the device simultaneously works to clear
excess oxide crystals and the skin's cellular debris.
This process helps the skin cells to stimulate new
collagen, resulting in increased skin firmness and
tone.
- FINE LINES AND WRINKLES

WHAT
TO EXPECT AFTER TREATMENT? |
| |
| There is no
downtime involved with this procedure, though microdermabrasion
patients are asked to wear sunscreen after treatment,
as skin will be extra sensitive to light. Immediately
following treatment, the skin will have a slightly
pink hue, creating a fresh look. Self-conscious
patients can easily camouflage the redness with
makeup. Skin imperfections are diminished and the
skin seems softer and rejuvenated. The best results
come to patients who continue a series of microdermabrasion
treatments over time.
