Microdermabrasion
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that exfoliates and removes the superficial layer of dry, dead skin cells. Patients with fine lines, uneven pigmentation or clogged pores may benefit most from a series of microdermabrasion treatments.
Microdermabrasion works on all skin types and colors. It makes subtle changes, causing no skin color change or scarring. It is not effective for deeper problems such as scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, or deep acne scars.
How often you should get a microdermabrasion facial?
It depends on your skincare needs and finances. Most in-office procedures pack a bigger punch and treatments are often scheduled at 1-2 month intervals.

Microdermabrasion helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin that's abundant when you're a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.
