Microdermabrasion is a fast noninvasive treatment that’s been proven to be effective in the treatment of the following: Fine lines, enlarged or clogged pores, mild acne, sun damage, superficial age spots, hyper pigmentation, uneven skin tone, oily skin, dry patchy skin, acne scarring, and blackheads. In general microdermabrasion results in healthier more youthful looking skin. Over the course of a full set of treatments the body will produce new layers of skin containing higher levels of collagen and elastin, also improving circulation and enhancing product absorption, resulting in a more radiant glow.

Microdermabrasion is often described as a cat licking your face. No anesthesia or topical numbing is required but it can be mildly uncomfortable.

The most common side effects of microdermabrasion include mild tenderness, swelling and possible redness. Most common is a feeling of tightness. These generally go away within a few hours after treatment. It is one of the safest cosmetic procedures, allowing for almost no recovery time and no medications needed.

The ideal candidates for microdermabrasion are healthy adults or teenagers who have minor skin conditions or imperfections and have a realistic expectation about what it can and cannot do. It works effectively on weathered, sun damaged, ageing skin, and many other skin concerns. Typical factors found with some cosmetic procedures such as age and skin color aren’t a factor with microdermabrasion. This is one of few treatments that can be done on pregnant and nursing women.

Microdermabrasion can be a one time treatment but is most effective when used as an on-going facial treatment. In the beginning you can receive treatments every week until you start to see the results you desire. Reducing the frequency to every other week or once a month, this will be sufficient for maintaining that youthful glow.

Microdermabrasion helps to reduce acne by clearing away dead skin cells and impurities that can block the pores. The ‘black’ or tops of the blackheads are removed by exfoliation while the suction part of the tool can remove the remaining hardened oils. This ultimately can reduce the size of the pore because they are no longer clogged with the matter that holds them open.
