Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a safe, progressive approach to skin care that was developed in Italy in 1987. Using vacuum, and sometimes positive pressure, the machine and the specially-designed handpiece allow micro-fine aluminum oxide crystals to pass over the skin. As the crystals make contact, they actually blast off a thin layer of the outer skin, the dermis.
The handpiece then vacuums off the dead skin and crustal particles. The procedure exfoliates the dry, dull skin, while stimulating circulation and collagen production.
Each treatment removes one to two layers of dead skin cells, depending on the condition that is being treated. The depth of treatment is determined by the trained esthetician and controlled through the speed of the handpiece, crystal flow and the number of passes. Each treatment is customized and patients can be treated at their own comfort levels.
Frequently Asked Questions:
What are the treatable skin conditions?
Microdermabrasion has been clinically proven to significantly reduce the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, stretch marks, age/sun pores, clogged pores, flaking and dry skin, uneven pigmentation, acne, acne scars as well as many other skin conditions.
Is Microdermabrasion painful?
For normal treatments, you will experience the sensation of vacuum suction and crystal particles making contact with your skin. This should not be a painful experience. Sensitive areas around the eyes and upper lip may feel more tender, but the therapist will adjust the machine in these areas to prevent discomfort.
