Practices in Europe have been using Micro-Dermabrasion treatments for years, and now men and women in the United States are experiencing the remarkable results of this exciting procedure. With Micro-Dermabrasion, you can see improvements in skin texture regardless of skin color. Regardless of your skin's condition, most patients will notice an improvement in their skin's appearance. Fine lines and age spots are erased. Acne scars and stretch marks will be less obvious.
Many patients report that their skin seems softer, smoother and younger-looking.
After About the Procedure Microdermabrasion is performed in the dermatologist's office and requires no anesthesia. Using a precision hand piece that directs a stream of very fine, chemically inert crystals and mild suction where needed on the skin, the gently abrasive action exfoliates the outermost layers of the skin. The dermatologist can control the power of the spray, from a gentle buffing of the skin to deeper exfoliation where needed. At a low power, microdermabrasion might be compared to results similar to those of glycolic acid peels. A full-face treatment generally takes 20 to 30 minutes.
