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.

 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.

What is MicroDermabrasion? |
| |
It is the removal of the top
layer of skin by a mechanical treatment of the skin. |
| |
|
| |
Is MicroDermabrasion similar to a chemical peel? |
| |
|
| |
Yes, both treatments rid the
skin of the top layer of cells. MicroDermabrasion is
done by physical means while a peel uses chemicals to
remove surface cells. |
| |
|
| |
Will Microdermabrasion treatments give an improvement
in the skin texture? |
| |
|
| |
Yes, a series of treatments will
make the skin smoother, softer, and with less fine wrinkles. |
