Microdermabrasion

​

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.

​

The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it.

​

A different microdermabrasion technique sprays fine particles of aluminum oxide or sodium bicarbonate with a vacuum/suction to accomplish the same outcome as the abrasive surface.

Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors. People might choose to get the procedure if they have the following skin concerns:

​

• Fine lines and wrinkles

• Hyperpigmentation, age spots and brown spots

• Enlarged pores and blackheads

• Acne and acne scars

• Stretch marks

• Dull-looking skin complexion

• Uneven skin tone and texture

• Melasma

• Sun damage
