What is Micro-Dermabrasion?
With an exciting technique called Micro-Dermabrasion, we can remove dead and flaking skin cells to create an immediate improvement in your skin’s appearance.
This unique approach stimulates the production of fresh young skin cells and collagen. It is the ultimate advancement in non-surgical, non-invasive skin conditioning.
Micro-Dermabrasion treatments are gentle and take very little time, making them popular for people with busy life styles. These mild yet effective treatments remove fine lines and age spots from around the eyes, lips and neck. Stretch marks and acne scars can also be dramatically reduced.
Is it for you?
The best candidates for Micro-Dermabrasion are individuals with acne-prone and blotchy skin, small scars, rhytides, keratoses, large pores, milia, or sebaceous hyperplasia. If you have sun damaged skin or an uneven skin texture and would like to improve the condition of your skin, you may be a good candidate for Micro-Dermabrasion.
Micro-Dermabrasion is not recommended for those who have active keloids, undiagnosed lesions, recent herpes outbreaks, warts, active, weeping acne (stages 3-4), active rosacea, unstable diabetes or autoimmune system disorders.

- Skin that is sensitive to chemicals or make-up.
- Acne-prone skin that has not responded well to acne remedies.
- Younger patients with early skin changes who wish for softer and smoother skin.
The best candidates for Micro-Dermabrasion are women and men who have:
- Good skin tone

Treatment Information:
Micro-Dermabrasion does not hurt although it may sting a little around the eye area. Your skin may feel a little hot and appear a little pink for the first day. The redness will disappear within a short period. Intense Micro-Dermabrasion treatments may leave you pink for several days. The technician can turn down the controls if the suction or level of the crystal spray is too strong for you.
Although really intense micro- Dermabrasion treatments may leave you pink for several days. The technician can turn down the controls if the suction or level of the “blast” is too strong for you.
Patients have attributed the sensation of a Micro-Dermabrasion treatment to a slight windburn. Although depending upon the level that you wish to reach the discomfort is usually quite minimal, if at all. The treatments typically last 20-30 minutes for the face, if your treatment includes the neck and upper chest area, it may last up to one hour.
Regardless of your skin’s condition, most patients will notice an improvement in their skin’s appearance. Fine lines and age spots may be erased. Acne scars and stretch marks will be less obvious. Many patients report that their skin seems softer, smoother and younger-looking.
