Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion treatments are a non-surgical way to freshen and rejuvenate the skin on your face.

This type of skin rejuvenation is used to treat light scarring, discoloration and sun damage and there’s even microdermabrasion for stretch marks.

What are Microdermabrasion Treatments?
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture and color by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. It also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. A wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical peels, a microdermabrasion treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment. The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective. Many patients notice an improvement in skin texture and luminosity after the first treatment. Imagine a very fine sand blaster and you’ll get a picture of how microdermabrasion works. It uses microparticles, or a diamond-tipped wand, to slough off the top layer (epidermis) of your skin and stimulate new skin growth.

The technique also helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion.  Collagen is a protein in your skin that’s abundant when you’re a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.

There is almost no discomfort in microdermabrasion, meaning you won’t need a topical or local anesthetic and there is no recovery or downtime.

Who Can Benefit?
Skin care is important. Microdermabrasion will benefit anyone who wants to improve specific skin conditions and rejuvenate the overall health and appearance of their skin. For people on the go, an exfoliation treatment using Microdermabrasion offers exceptional benefits. Ideal for a special event or as a program for overall skin rejuvenation, this treatment is non-invasive, painless and requires no downtime from work or social activities. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after treatment.
