Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a a minimally abrasive facial and/or full body procedure that uses manual exfoliation to remove dead skin cells, excess oil, and other impurities from skin. We use a diamond tipped Microdermabrasion. The process works in a series to achieve the best results and is quick and generally painless, with low risks and associated side effects.

Microdermabrasion is an effective treatment for:

  • Improving age spots and blackheads
  • Improving hyperpigmentation (patches of darkened skin)
  • Exfoliating your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance
  • Lessen the appearance of stretch marks
  • Reduce fine lines and wrinkles
  • Reduce or eliminate enlarged pores
  • Treat acne and the scars left by acne

How it works:

Diamond microdermabrasion is a method of skin exfoliation similar to peeling. It uses a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer.

Microdermabrasion results are an immediate improvement in the skin’s texture, tone and appearance.

What to expect:

A typical diamond microdermabrasion treatment lasts approximately 30-45 minutes. Patients are advised to limit their sun exposure following the treatment, but may return to normal activities immediately afterward. The treated area may feel tight and sensitive for a brief period after the procedure, but should return to normal after one or two days.

The effects of diamond microdermabrasion are not permanent. The outer dermal layer of human skin is constantly exposed to damaging elements, such as chemicals and the sun, as well as the natural aging process. In order to maintain its youthful, toned, and healthy appearance, the skin may require more frequent rejuvenation treatments as patients grow older.
