Microdermabrasion: Smooth, Revitalize, and Renew Your Skin

Microdermabrasion is a gentle, noninvasive exfoliation treatment that removes dead skin cells, unclogs pores, and stimulates collagen production for a brighter, more even complexion. Perfect for all skin types, this quick and effective procedure leaves your skin feeling smooth, refreshed, and rejuvenated.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a specialized device to gently exfoliate the top layer of dead skin cells. This process stimulates the production of new skin cells and collagen, resulting in a smoother, brighter complexion. It is ideal for improving the appearance of fine lines, mild acne scars, uneven skin tone, and dull skin. Microdermabrasion is safe for most skin types and can be performed on the face, neck, chest, and hands. The treatment is quick, painless, and requires no downtime, making it a popular choice for individuals seeking a refreshed look with minimal disruption to their daily routines.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

During a microdermabrasion session, a handheld device is used to spray fine crystals onto the skin’s surface while simultaneously vacuuming away the exfoliated skin cells. This process removes the outer layer of dead skin, revealing the fresh, healthy skin underneath. This process results in a 30% increase in skin elasticity. The exfoliation also stimulates blood flow and collagen production, which helps improve skin texture and tone over time. The treatment is gentle and can be customized to address specific skin concerns like fine lines, wrinkles, scars, stretch marks, sun damage, and age spots. This treatment is suitable for all skin types. After only one 45-minute session, patients have smoother skin, an improvement in skin texture, and a noticeable improvement in pore size, with continued benefits after a series of treatments.

Ideal Candidates

While the procedure is minimally-invasive, some precautions still need to be taken. Therefore, a consultation is required to determine if you are a candidate and meet some of the following requirements:

You are in good health
You have scars, fine lines, sun damage, or skin conditions such as rosacea
You have realistic expectations
