| Why Choose
Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion has been performed successfully for
years in Europe and is now one of the most popular cosmetic
procedures in this country. It is rapidly becoming one
of the most frequently sought after no-surgical,
non-invasive skin care and rejuvenation treatments for:
- reducing fine lines and minor scars
- removing sun and age spot
- cleaning enlarged and clogged pores, blackheads and
whiteheads
- restoring a healthy, smooth feel to skin
- helping fight signs of aging
|
Microdermabrasion appeals to younger patients as a great
way to reduce occasional blemish flareups, as a deep
cleansing facial and as preventative skin care to fight the
first signs of aging before they appear.
Microdermabrasion is safe and effective for all skin
types, from light to dark, dry to oily. This
age-defying treatment can work wonders on your face, hands
and chest. Whether you have a problem area or just
want a quick pick-me-up, brighter, smoother skin is waiting
for you in just a few treatments! |
| Understanding
Microdermabrasion
A precise stream of aluminum oxide crystals is directed
through a hand piece onto the skin to loosen and exfoliate
the top layer of dead cells. The crystals and
exfoliated skin cells are then vacuumed away, revealing
fresh, healthier looking skin.
While microdermabrasion cannot remove tattoos, major acne
scars or other deep scars and wrinkles, it does promote the
production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layers of the
dermis and stimulates the growth of collagen to further
smooth and improve skin tone and appearance.
Best results are achieved through a series of six treatments and a regular maintenance program.
Our staff will assess your skin and customize the most
effective treatment program possible designed to achieve
your goals.
