Microdermabrasion

What do the starts of Hollywood use to keep that youthful glow? This question appeared in Parade Magazine and the answer might surprise you. Not facelifts or laser resurfacing but a new noninvasive lunchtime procedure called Microdermabrasion. With Microdermabrasion, you can have a treatment and return to work immediately. Microdermabrasion leaves your skin softer, smoother and fresher looking.

Microdermabrasionis ideal for:
• People who cannot afford to take time off for healing from chemicals or lasers.
• Active patients who don’t want to put off outdoor or social activities like tennis, golf, or
   skiing.
• Skin that is sensitive to chemicals or make-up.
• Acne-prone skin that has not responded well to acne remedies.
• Younger patients with early skin changes that wish for softer, smoother skin.

The best candidates for Microdermabrasion are women and men who have:
• Good skin tone
• Good health
• Realistic expectations

What are the treatments like?
Treatment can be likened to a “superficial skin polishing” using micro-crystals vacuumed through a delicate hand piece. In as little as twenty minutes, this gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Treatments are applied through a course of biweekly sessions, ranging from 2 to 12 weeks.

These treatments combat the signs of aging skin without surgery. Most importantly, Microdermabrasion is safe to use on all skin colors and types. How long do treatments take? Microdermabrasion treatments usually last about 10 to 30 minutes. However, treatments for stretch marks can take as long as two hours. During your session we focus on our problem areas, but time can be given to other areas of concern.

What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion over other procedures?
• No downtime.
• Treatment sessions take less time.
• Discomfort is minimal.
• Normal activities can be resumed immediately.

What results can you expect?
Regardless of your skin’s condition, most patients will notice an improvement in their skin’s appearance. Fine lines and age spots are erased. Acne scars and stretch marks will be less obvious. Many patients report that their skin seems softer, smoother and younger-looking.

How soon will I see results?
After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh pink glow. Improvement continues throughout your treatment program. The number of treatments recommended for maximum results ranges from two to twelve.
