Microdermabrasion (Also known as microderm)

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive, skin resurfacing procedure that gently exfoliates or polishes away the top layer of dead skin cells, while stimulating collagen growth, to reveal healthy new skin that looks and feels smoother. Fine lines, blemishes, dull skin and sun spots can be improved, especially with regular treatments. Products such as moisturizers, creams and lotions are more easily absorbed and therefore more effective after microdermabrasion treatment. This is a painless, low-risk skin treatment that can be added to your beauty routine.

When to Consider microdermabrasion:

If you want to brighten your skin and have a healthy glow
If you have sun damage, acne scars, or fine lines
If your pores are clogged and you often have blackheads and/or whiteheads
If you want to maintain healthy, clear skin

Related Procedures:

Many people who consider microdermabrasion also consider laser skin resurfacing, chemical peel, IPL/photorejuvenation and injectables.

Pros:

Immediate result with no downtime, pain, or side effects
Improved look of scars, wrinkles, and skin spots
Effective for all skin types and colors

Cons:

Cannot help serious skin conditions such as deep acne, active rosacea, eczema or dermatitis
Requires multiple sessions and maintenance treatments for maximum effectiveness
Skin may feel sensitive and be sensitive to the sun immediately after treatment
