Skin Care / Medi-spa® - Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation method for the treatment of mild acne scarring, sun damage, age spots, blemishes, uneven pigmentation, enlarged pores and blackheads. The treatment offers controlled, gentle exfoliation with stimulation of the skin. The process involves a vacuum tip drawing very fine crystals across the skin surface; it does not use any pressure to “sandblast” the skin! The vacuum not only moves the crystals, it stimulates blood flow. The results are smoother, softer, cleaner skin with improved texture and it actually increases the thickness of the fine collagen fibers in the skin. Microdermabrasion promotes the production of new cells in the basal or deepest layer of the dermis.

The advantage of microdermabrasion over other mechanical exfoliation methods is controllability-stimulation without irritation. Microdermabrasion is a good way to “jump start” the exfoliation process in patients who have many clogged pores, thick, weathered skin. It is performed at monthly or quarterly intervals for maintenance.

Other areas that improve with microdermabrasion include the décolleté (for women wanting a smooth cleavage), and the hands, which frequently show signs of aging.

Microdermabrasion treatments combined with medical grade skin care products will give quicker results. Results are usually immediate. Following each treatment your skin will look and feel clean and smoother. You will also notice that your skin will become more even toned and textured, especially after a series of treatments. Once the dull dead skin cells are removed, you will notice an improvement overall. This usually occurs after several treatments.
