Microdermabrasion Skin Treatments

Though used in Europe for the past 30 years as a way to address skin complexion problems, microdermabrasion treatments are a relatively new import to the United States. The treatment, sometimes referred to as a lunch-time facial, has been used by cosmetic dermatologists and spas since the later 1990s as a way to treat clogged pores, oily skin and complexion problems related to acne. Before the introduction of the non-surgical resurfacing procedure, patients were limited to more painful options, like harsh chemical peels and laser resurfacing.

The Benefits of Microdermabrasion Treatments

The benefits of a professional microdermabrasion treatment are many. By applying a continuous, high-pressure stream of aluminum oxide crystals to abrade and remove the dead cells and the fine top layer of facial skin, microdermabrasion treatments avoid applying harsh chemicals to already vulnerable skin. Patients feel little discomfort and, in most cases, find the massaging procedure to be soothing. Additionally, there's no downtime involved. Microdermabrasion clients can return to their daily activities and continue their normal skin-care regimens, all while seeing an immediate improvement in skin tone and texture.
