ABOUT MICRODERMABRASION

Cleansing your face usually only removes surface debris, leaving behind plugged oil, dead skin cells and makeup in the pores. This can cause the skin to appear dull and weathered and can contribute towards conditions such as acne.

Microdermabrasion is a superior skin-revitalizing treatment that helps eliminate sun damage, pigmentation and the effects of aging on the skin. For microdermabrasion at Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre, we use the DermaSweep. This is one of many non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed by our highly trained skin specialists that offers no downtime but outstanding results.

Benefits

Non-invasive and works on all skin types
Helps to treat uneven skin tone
Very safe with no downtime
Can improve keratosis pillars (rough skin on the upper arms and shoulders)
Can assist in brightening the skin

HOW IT WORKS

The DermaSweep microdermabrasion gently buffs and polishes the skin and increases micro-circulation to achieve a healthy glow. The nylon and silk bristles combined with a controlled vacuum suction, gently exfoliates the top damaged layer of the skin to reveal a fresh and clean palate that will soak up any topical products applied.

Had a great session today with skin care technician Monika! – a combination derma sweep and IPL (photorejuvenation/photofacial). Monika’s relaxed yet thorough focus left me feeling confident and convinced of the great value for my procedure. My experience at VL&SCC has always been wonderful under the direction of Dr. Braun and care from all of his associates. Thank you!

FAQs

I heard a Microdermabrasion can make the skin thin. Is this true?: Actually, it is the opposite. The clearing of the pores and removal of dead skin cells allows the healthy cells to breathe and benefit from topical products. This encourages new cell production that are larger and healthier.
Is Microdermabrasion effective for men?: Absolutely! Men deserve great skin too. As the microdermabrasion is a manual exfoliation the technician will adjust and customize the intensity depending on the skin thickness and health to ensure optimal exfoliation.
Can I have a Microdermabrasion while pregnant or breast feeding?: Yes – the Microdermabrasion is mechanical rather than chemical exfoliation it is a perfect treatment for anyone who is worried about chemical absorption into the skin.
