Microdermabrasion is a new twist on an age-old method of skin refinement. This technology exfoliates skin in much the same fashion as a pumice stone. One of the greatest advantages of microdermabrasion is the ability to safely treat all skin types.  On sun-damaged skin, this technique acts to rejuvenate solar damage.  Skin tones radiate and the skin becomes softer and more supple. This gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces results in a non-invasive procedure that does not create thermal injury.  Depending on the condition of the skin, an immediate improvement in the skin's appearance is often noted.  Acne scars can be markedly less obvious.  Age spots and fine lines are reduced and many patients report that their skin seems to be softer, smoother, and more youthful looking.  Treatments can take about 30 minutes. The best candidates for microdermabrasion treatments are men and women who are in good health and have good skin tone.  Care taken to protect against sun exposure and use of appropriate skin care products will help maintain results.
