Microdermabrasions

Microdermabrasion is a valuable skin care procedure when used alone, or in combination with other procedures.

Is the procedure new?
Microdermabrasion has been used successfully for years in Europe and is now one of the most popular cosmetic procedures in this country. Our office uses the Skin Scape Plus Microdermabrasion System because of its quality, dependability and results.

What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive exfoliating procedure performed individually or in a series for revitalizing and maintaining the skin’s appearance and smoothness. It can be used to address problem areas on the face or body. One session generally takes 30 minutes or so. There is no special preparation before the visit nor any recuperation after.

How does it work?
A precise stream of very fine crystals is directed through the microdermabrasion hand piece onto the skin to loosen the layer of dead skin cells that form on the surface. It then suctions away both the skin debris and the crystals to reveal fresh invigorated skin. Typically, only the uppermost layer of the skin, the stratum corneum is removed. This is why there is minimal discomfort and virtually no recuperation In selected cases, however, a more aggressive abrasion may be chosen and appropriate aftercare will be discussed.

What results can I expect?
