 For patients who want to treat minor imperfections of the facial skin, microdermabrasion may be a good alternative to the harsher dermabrasion or chemical peels. Using aluminum oxide crystals, microdermabrasion "sand blasts" the face to remove the top (dead) layer of skin, resulting in a fresher, healthier appearance. Microdermabrasion also encourages the production of new cells in the skin's deepest layer to further even out skin texture. A simple, virtually painless procedure requiring almost no recovery time, microdermabrasion can address a number of problems such as large pores, blotchy skin, and small scars.
There is virtually no recovery time or discomfort and patients can return to work immediately. In many cases, microdermabrasion treatment involves a series of procedures--often 4-6 treatments at 7-10 day intervals to allow the skin time to heal. The risks associated with microdermabrasion are almost non-existent.
Now Microdermabrasion, Photo-Biostimulation and Micro Currents are integrated in a complete facial rejuvenation package. The synergy produced by this amazing combination of treatments provides a more effective solution to the aging process by directly impacting the epidermis, dermis and muscles.
Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. Acne can also be treated through repeated microdermabrasion treatments. |
