Microdermabrasion
What is it?
Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation procedure intended to smooth wrinkles
and fine lines, improve the appearance of scars, reduce the size of pores,
and remove age and sun spots. It can be considered an intense exfoliator.
How does it work?
A controlled spray of very fine aluminum oxide is applied to the surface of
the skin, removing the upper layer of the
epidermis. While emitting the spray, the device used
to do so simultaneously works to clear excess oxide crystals and the skin's
cellular debris. This process helps the skin cells to stimulate new collagen,
resulting in increased skin firmness and tone.

What to expect after treatment
There is virtually no downtime involved with this procedure, though microdermabrasion
patients are asked to wear sunscreen after treatment, as skin will be extra
sensitive
to light.
Immediately
following
treatment,
the skin will have a slightly pink hue, creating a fresh look. Self-conscious
patients can easily camouflage the hue with makeup. Skin imperfections
are diminished and the skin seems softer and rejuvenated. The best results
come to patients who continue microdermabrasion treatments over a period
of time.
