Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation procedure that helps to resolve superficial skin concerns. Anti-aging benefits include the softening of fine lines and wrinkles, decreasing of acne scars and pore size and evening out of skin tone. Age spots and other sites of hyper-pigmentation can also be treated through microdermabrasion. Diamond-tipped applicators deliver a removal of dead skin cells from the surface of the skin, which is subsequently vacuumed by a separate canister. Home microderm kits are too abrasive and may end up irritating the skin without providing the collagen regeneration properties of a clinic experience. Microdermabrasion can bring dramatic results with a single treatment, however subsequent sessions bring about a greater youthful appearance. With the ability to precisely control application settings, patients with sensitive skin are still perfect candidates for the treatment.
