How Microdermabrasion Works

Microdermabrasion works in two ways. It works by gently exfoliating or removing the outside layers (stratum corneum) of the skin. The abrasive action of the wand gently removes the outer surface layers, allowing smoother, fresher skin to be apparent.

The second way is that the vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic flow, increasing the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration. This helps accelerate the skins repair process and stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin thereby improving skin texture and elasticity.

Recommended Treatment: 1 treatment every 3 weeks. May be alternated with chemical peels in between microdermabrasion treatments.

Treatment Time: 30 to 60 minutes.

Recovery Time: Some swelling and redness at the treatment site may occur.  This generally fades in a matter of hours.

Medical Microdermabrasion FAQ’s

Microdermabrasion is good for people who have superficial acne scars, brown sun spots, sun damage, large pores, and fine wrinkles.

Yes. It a non-invasive treatment, meaning that we are only dealing with the stratum corneum, the very topmost layers of the skin.

The treatment affects the epidermis, causing sloughing and stimulating cell production at the basal cell layer, causing a faster cell turnover time.

It is a less aggressive approach. Laser skin resurfacing has many side effects: a long healing time (2-6 months), scarring, and hypo- or hyperpigmentation of the skin.

4-6 treatments are recommended. After the first treatment, your skin feels smoother, but by the 4th treatment, patient’s skin looks pink and healthy and friends are noticing a difference. Maintenance treatments are recommended every 2 to 3 months after a series.

Anyone with keloids, active facial herpes, anyone that has been on Accutane in the past 6 months and anyone that has had plastic surgery in the last year.

It can be used anywhere on the body, where smoother, softer skin is desired.

It has been described as feeling like “a cat licking you”. It is mildly uncomfortable, but most people are surprised by their comfort level.

30-40 minutes. Patients can walk out and return to their everyday routine.

They’re minimal. After treatment, patients are pink. We ask them to wear sunscreen and avoid makeup for a day.

Any age. We see younger clients for acne, and older clients for sun damage.

Of course. Men enjoy keeping a youthful appearance as well as women. It is great for smoothing out the skin.
