We offer microdermabrasion treatments along with a full-service list of skin care treatment options.
Microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment to exfoliate the surface of your skin, removing dead skin cells and providing a healthy appearance to your skin. Microdermabrasion is often combined with full service facial and peel treatments to provide a more effective treatment to the living and healthy tissue.
This treatment is not to be misunderstood for dramatic resurfacing of acne scars or pigmentation concerns. Microdermabrasion may also be recommended to many patients but is often oversold in the industry.
Do-it-yourself kits that are sold over the counter are often very questionable; what is used in the product to exfoliate may do more harm than good.
It is often possible to avoid microdermabrasion treatments by using active ingredients, such as products with:
- Alpha hydroxy acids
- Beta hydroxy acids
- Vitamin A (retinals/retinaldyhydes,retin-A, etc.)
These ingredients provide correct turnover and exfoliation of the skin, are available in medical spas and physician offices, and offer tremendous benefit without the additional expense of microdermabrasion treatments.
Following the recommendations of your physician or qualified skin care expert is wise.
