What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is performed in our office and requires no anesthesia. Using a precision hand piece that directs a stream of very fine, chemically inert crystals and mild suction where needed on the skin, the gently abrasive action exfoliates the outermost layers of the skin. The practitioner can control the power of the spray, from a gentle buffing of the skin to deeper exfoliation where needed. At a medium power, microdermabrasion might be compared to results similar to those of a light TCA peel. A full-face treatment generally takes 20 to 40 minutes.

What results can you expect?

Following the treatment, your skin may appear lightly pink, but there is no oozing or obvious redness. Some patients say their face feels as if their skin has been deeply cleansed. The skin may peel mildly. In the case of a deeper treatment level for more blemished or thicker skins, the skin will appear slightly red and tight for a few hours. Similar to a light peel, the procedure can improve fine lines, wrinkles, sun damage and uneven skin tone. It treats blackheads and whiteheads, pigmentation (brown spots), and gives the skin a healthy-looking glow. It may be used in conjunction with a light chemical peel or photo facial treatment.
