What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive 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 are more effective after microdermabrasion treatment. This is a painless, low-risk skin treatment that can be added to your beauty routine.

Get Skin You Love

Living with skin that appears lifeless can make you feel self-conscious and wishing for a way to rejuvenate your skin. Microdermabrasion can help you correct common skin concerns by resurfacing your skin. It’s an excellent option for those wanting to reveal fresh, soft skin and promote overall health and healing. With a personalized treatment plan, you can see your skin come back to life, and, by maintaining results with regular appointments, you can continue to look your best for years to come.

 How often can I have microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion can be done as frequently as weekly or up to every eight weeks depending on your skin's tolerance and desired cosmetic effects. Many people choose to start with weekly treatments for three sessions, then change to a monthly maintenance regimen.

 Pre - Microdermabrasion Instructions:

• Do not use Retin-A or other exfoliating creams 24 to 72 hours (1 to 3 days) prior to your treatment.

• Avoid sun tanning or tanning creams/sprays for at least a week before treatment

• You must NOT have recently had laser surgery or used Accutane

• Candidates who have had a recent chemical peel or other skin procedure, such as collagen injections, should wait two to three weeks before undergoing microdermabrasion.

• Prospective patients should also refrain from waxing or tanning the skin to be treated  prior to microdermabrasion treatment.

 Post - Microdermabrasion Instructions
To maximize microdermabrasion recovery time and results, it is important to follow all post-procedure instruction below:
