Microdermabrasion helps reduce the appearance of surface abnormalities resulting from sun damage and the effects of aging. This procedure softens sharp edges, reduces the appearance of fine lines, minor scars, crow's feet, age spots and acne scars. A non-surgical procedure, microdermabrasion uses a polishing, gentle abrasion hand piece that projects tiny crystals onto the surface of the face. Treatments can be performed on small or large areas of the face and may be combined with other procedures including chemical peel or facelift.
Microdermabrasion stimulates the production of skin cells and collagen, resulting in a vibrant, healthy glow to the skin. In the days following the procedure, the skin's natural pigment will return and match the surrounding skin, resulting in dramatic improvement. Microdermabrasion is recommended for patients of all skin color and type, especially those that maybe be sensitive to chemical procedures.
