Microdermabrasion 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
Technique:
The hand piece 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:
-
Virtually no side
effects.

Gives the skin an
overall fresh, healthy-looking glow.

Nonsurgical, safe,
effective "lunch hour" procedure.

skin colors and types.

Other Considerations:
-
Requires multiple
sessions and maintenance treatments.

Patients with good
skin tone will show best results.

An individualized
skin care program may be recommended
to maximize results.
