I heard a combination of microdermabrasion and a light peel can do wonders for the skin. How often should the treatments be performed, and which should be done first? Can microdermabrasion be alternated with mild exfoliating pads instead of a light peel to produce a similar effect?? Thanks in advance. Brenda
Answer: Medical Grade HydraFacial: Why You Need This Great question! I swear by medical grade HydraFacial that does extractions, exfoliation/ hydro-dermabrasion, anti-aging and antibacterial LED light therapy, peels, etc while adding boosters and antioxidants to your skin. Since I am a physician my practice does medical grade HydraFacial. I get a medical grade Platinum HydraFacial myself every 2-3 weeks and my skin shows why I commit to it. As a medical doctor my practice is able to do up to a 30% salicylic acid peel instead of a 7.5% peel at spas. It makes all the difference in the world! Plus we can use specific medical grade boosters if you have sun spots or hyperpigmentation of different types. I treat my Rosacea and Melasma patients with this as well. This one treatment does it all, and then they go home with my anti-aging skincare that includes Bawa Medical Hydroquinone pads, Vitamin C serum, all trans Retinol and SPF 50 physical sunscreen. (Love this question! Can you tell?!)

Answer: Microdermabrasion and chemical peels I still do a lot of chemical peels and microdermabrasion as well as oxygen facials to the skin. It definitely improves the tone, texture, and complexion of the skin. The mild exfoliating pads that have alpha-hydroxy acids can be used as well. These traditional methods still work well to rejuvenate the skin but may take longer than doing Fraxel and other lasers. Also, these methods work on all skin type, especially those with sensitive skin or people who may not be candidates for lasers. Please find someone experienced in cosmetic dermatology!
