Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps to repair facial skin that has been over-exposed to the harsh elements we face on a daily basis. It helps with sun exposure, clogged pores, pigmentation irregularities, blackheads, stretch marks and can even reduce the early signs of aging and minor acne scaring. This technique is a non-invasive procedure which removes the surface layer of the skin thereby causing facial skin to appear younger, fresher and healthier.

During the procedure, the doctor will use a device called a ‘non-crystal microdermabrader’ which is a wand-like device that is brushed along the skin and with the aid of suction, lightly sands down the surface layers of the epidermis. This process unclogs pores, removes dead skin cells and increases overall circulation. It’s fast, easy and causes virtually no discomfort or recovery time. Microdermabrasion uses no lasers, acids or any other chemicals.

Once the procedure is done, patients usually experience some redness of the skin for about an hour. This procedure is quick and simple; it requires no anesthesia or any other numbing ailments. Microdermabrasion can even be used on the arms, hands and neck. Depending on a client’s overall skin condition, the procedure may have to be repeated several times in order to receive the best results. However, this is a great way to get younger, healthier looking skin without enduring surgery.
