Micro-Dermabrasion
Micro-Dermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines,
"crow's feet," age spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production of
skin cells and collagen. It has proven to be a very popular nonsurgical
cosmetic procedure
Micro-Dermabrasion Technique:
 The hand piece,
held by your dermatologist, emits crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting in a
gentle abrasion or "polishing" process. Each treatment takes from 30
minutes to an hour. The number of treatments recommended for maximal
results can range between 5 and 12, spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart.
Maintenance of results requires periodic repeat treatments after the
initial regimen is completed. Microdermabrasion may be combined with a
light chemical peel to increase the effect.
Benefits of Micro-Dermabrasion:
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.
This simple, quick and convenient micro-dermabrasion procedure 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, micro-dermabrasion 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
