Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, "crow’s
feet," age spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production
of skin cells and collagen. It has proven to be a very popular
nonsurgical cosmetic procedure.
Technique:
The hand piece emits crystals onto the surface of the skin,
resulting in a gentle abrasion or "polishing" process.
Each treatment takes from 30 minutes to an hour. The number
of treatments recommended for maximal results can range between
5 and 12, spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart. Maintenance of results
requires periodic repeat treatments after the initial regimen
is completed. Microdermabrasion may be combined with a light
chemical peel to increase the effect.
