Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical technique used primarily on the facial area to help with the appearance of aging skin, sun spots, sun-damaged skin as well as unsightly pigmentation areas. Microdermabrasion can also be used to ease the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, acne and scarring associated with acne. Through the use of aluminum oxide crystals, the surface layer of the face is gently sloughed-off, revealing brighter, glowing skin. This procedure is not a chemical peel and does not utilize laser resurfacing. As such, there is no down time, allowing you the patient to carry on with the rest of the day’s business. The procedure generally takes about 30-45 minutes. Our office offers a skin care line that compliments the microdermabrasion procedure, allowing the patient to capitalize on their new-found appearance.
