Facial Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion or Derma Peel, is a powerful, non-invasive procedure using a fine grit or non-bristle tip device to smooth away the surface layer of skin, most commonly on the face, chest and neck, removing dead cells and mechanically exfoliating the top layer of skin. This top layer of skin acts as a barrier to the layers beneath which block natural skin replenishment. Microdermabrasion removes that layer of skin decreasing the appearance of dark spots, freckles, and overall uneven skin tone as well as reducing wrinkles, fine lines and acne scars. Removing the dead skin stimulates new growth and helps encourage natural collagen formation to effectively give the skin a smoother more youthful appearance.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Trained medical staff aim a small stream of crystals at the skin where they gently scrape away dead skin cells, debris, and impurities. The crystals, and the debris they have loosened, are removed using a gentle vacuum attached to a handpiece.

In addition to rejuvenation, the procedure helps to improve the appearance of skin by reducing fine lines, mild, shallow scarring from acne and removing signs of early sun damage.

The procedure lasts from 30-60 minutes and involves no downtime. Though you may see immediate results, the full benefits of microdermabrasion usually take from 5-12 sessions, spaced two to three weeks apart.
