Can Anyone Get the Treatment?

What Are the Benefits of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion works by stimulating your skin to grow new skin cells and replenish its collagen. The results are a more even skin complexion and tone, reduction of wrinkles and fine lines, of stretch marks, and acne scars, among other benefits.

How Is Microdermabrasion Performed?

To perform the procedure your doctor uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface that has many tiny crystals that gently polish the outer layer of skin.

There is typically no anesthesia required for the in-office procedure which takes about an hour to complete, although you may require multiple future treatments depending on the results you are looking for.

At the end of the treatment, your doctor applies moisturizer and sunscreen to your skin.

What to Expect After the Procedure?

There isn't almost no downtime after the session but it's important to remember that your skin will be sensitive to the sun for a few weeks after. You may also notice some swelling, pinkness, and tenderness at the site. Besides sunscreen, your doctor may also suggest moisturizer and other products to keep your skin hydrated.
