Microdermabrasion
The gentle approach to skin renewal

The microdermabrasion process smooths and freshens your skin without chemicals, lasers or surgery. Instead, the gentle treatments reduce conditions such as:

• Sun-damaged skin
• Age spots
• Superficial pigmentation
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Blackheads and whiteheads
• Acne scars

Plastic Surgery Associates also offers skin renewal treatments using laser technology, which works best for deeper lines and wrinkles, and chemical peels. Check with your doctor to learn which procedure is best for you.

What does the microdermabrasion involve?
The microdermabrasion process is safe, affordable and so simple. The Skin Care Specialist uses a precision handpiece to direct a stream of fine crystals and mild suction toward the targeted area of your skin.

The gentle abrasive action of the crystals combines with the suction to remove the dead outer layer of your skin while bringing smoother, softer skin to the surface. Discomfort is minimal, and the procedure works equally well on all skin colors.

Five to 10 treatments are usually required for best results. Because the microdermabrasion process is so gentle, you can have as many treatments as you need without worrying about down time.

What should I expect after a microdermabrasion?
The treatments take about 30 minutes, after which you can return immediately to your daily activities.
