Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a very popular and painless skin treatment that improves the overall look of your skin. Dermatologists use a specialized machine resembling a sand blaster which shoots small crystals against your skin. Common crystals used in Microdermabrasion include aluminum oxide, zinc oxide, corundum, sodium chloride, sodium bicarbonate, and magnesium oxide.The small abrasion causes the removal of dead skin (Known as the Stratum Corneum) allowing the new skin to show through. It refreshes and smoothes the skin. It can be used on the arms, neck and face. Microdermabrasion also initiates the production of new cells in the basel (deepest) layer of the dermis. It reduces the look of sun-damaged skin and lightens scar appearance.

It can also be used as a preventive treatment for acne. Microdermabrasion is a great acne treatment due to it's successful method of opening pores, wiping out acne causing bacteria along with oil and dirt. This allows the skin to heal quickly. Results vary patient to patient and must be done periodically to reduce future breakouts. Most people who have recieved a microderm treatment notice significant changes in their skin's texture and tone. Microdermabrasion takes only one hour to perform, there is no recovery time and no medical supervision is needed. The Treatment is safe for both light and dark-skinned patients.
