* This procedure is for aging
skin, fine lines, scarring, sun damage and wrinkles.
Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique
that helps repair facial skin, which takes a beating from the sun
and the effects of aging. Microdermabrasion buffs and polishes the
skin to achieve a healthy glow and help alleviate fine lines, pigmentation,
acne and dull dry skin. It stimulates the production of skin cells
and collagen. It is also popular to remove the rough skin of keratosis
pilares found on the upper arms and and shoulders. It has proven
to be a very popular, non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
Benefits:
- works on all skin types
- no risk
- non-invasive
- no down time
- keratosis pilares (rough skin on upper arms and
shoulders)
Conditions that can be treated include:
- sun damaged skin
- fine lines and wrinkles
- blackheads and whiteheads
- acne prone skin
- age spots
How it works:
A flow of fine crystals with applied vacuum suction results in
a very gentle “sandblasting” of the skin, removing dead
surface cells and clearing the pores of debris. Over time and treatments,
pigment fades away and surface irregularities, such as fine wrinkles
and acne scars, begin to soften.
What to expect:
Treatment of the whole face takes about 30 minutes. There is no
pain. The area treated may be slightly pink for a day or two. For
smooth skin a little microdermabrasion goes a long way. Sloughing
off the uppermost layer of the skin reveals a fresher, younger-looking
face. Regular microdermabrasion sessions are perfect for keeping
superficial lines to a minimum. |
