Our microdermabrasion relies
on the delivery of minute crystals to the surface of the skin. These
crystals gently remove layers of the epidermis as the operator moves the hand
piece across the surface. The combination of skin exfoliation and slight
suction, stimulates production of new, living cells at the base level of the
skin. This causes cell turnover and improved blood flow. Healing
time is rapid with minimal discomfort and redness. Most people return to
work immediately with nothing more than a vibrant, healthier looking
complexion. The result is a healthier, fresher skin with enhanced
elasticity and skin texture.
Remember, aging skin can
impact younger individuals not just those in their middle or late years.
There is no real age range for microdermabrasion treatments since the technique
can assist with the prevention of problems in young skin as well as enhance the
appearance of skin in older age.
Facial treatments usually
take about 15 to 20 minutes. You benefit from just one treatment, however,
most patients schedule 4 to 6 treatments at one to two week intervals.
After the initial course of treatments, we recommend that the patients schedule
an additional treatment every 2-3 months to maintain your skin in excellent
condition.
This continued regimen of
skincare is important. As you get older the skin finds it more difficult
to regenerate and cell renewal is considerably slower.

benefit from microdermabrasion.
