MICRODERMABRASION
PRICING:
[$75 - $150] per session
Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliation process that rejuvenates the skin by utilizing ultra-fine aluminum oxide crystals to remove the upper layer of the epidermis. At the same time, the hand piece contains a vacuum tube that sweeps up both the used crystal as well as the skin’s cellular debris. This process exfoliates the skin, stimulating new collagen production that will result in firmer, more youthful looking skin over time.
Microdermabrasion can be effectively used to achieve the following results:
- Treatment of fine lines and wrinkles
- Treatment of scars resulting from acne, surgery or even chicken pox
- Treatment of enlarged pores
- Treatment of age spots
- Enhance various laser treatments
Patients who have had this procedure performed consistently over a period of time have enjoyed excellent and long-term results
About the procedure
The procedure can be performed on virtually all persons and skin types. While microdermabrasion is most often performed on the face, many of our patients have had treatments to the neck, abdomen, legs, and shoulders; any area that can benefit from smoother, younger-looking skin. Microdermabrasion typically takes twenty minutes per treatment. Depending on the condition you wish to treat, our staff can recommend a specific number of treatments. The treatments can be performed as often as weekly. With the aid of micro-crystals vacuumed through a delicate hand piece held at a precise angle to the skin, our staff will affect a superficial skin polishing.
