The Benefits
For years, skin problems such as acne, fine lines and sun damage have been treated with lasers and chemical peels. Now there is a modern safe and virtually painless alternative, Microdermabrasion.
With over a decade of success around the world, the microdermabrasion procedure has been used to treat millions of satisfied people.
The benefits of microdermabrasion include:
-
Less pain or discomfort
-
Minimal risk
-
Suitable for all skin types
-
No anaesthesia required
-
No recovery time
Because the microdermabrasion procedure is performed under the supervision of a certified professional, patients can be confident they will be treated with the utmost care.
How it works
DERMA GENESIS® Medical Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead, outermost layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.
Microdermabrasion is commonly used to treat and diminish:
-
Fine Lines and Wrinkles
-
Sun Damaged Skin
-
Acne Prone Skin
-
Blackheads and Whiteheads
-
Superficial Age Spots
-
Hyperpigmentation
-
Oily Skin
-
Dry or Patchy Skin
The procedure is performed by using a hand piece that the operator passes over the skin. This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin, as pictured below: At the same time the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion and the vacuum. This promotes new collagen which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effects of ageing.
What are the advantages of this treatment?
Microdermabrasion is a great alternative to chemical peels. Not all skin types are able to tolerate glycolics and other peels. The results are more predictable with microdermabrasion and can be accomplished in gradual stages with no down time or redness. A single treatment may remove as much stratum corneum (the top layer of skin) as three glycolic peels. Also your SkinMedics esthetician is able to target trouble areas for more intense treatments. This procedure offers no down time, no discomfort, no side effects and no recovery time. Your skin will feel vibrant and healthy and you will notice an immediate difference in your softer, smoother skin.
