MEDICAL MICRO-DERMABRASION

MEDICAL MICRODERMABRASION
Is an excellent treatment
that makes the skin look younger, softer and more radiant. It does this by cleaning the pores and stimulating new collagen
growth. Crystals are directed at the skin and usually removed by a vacuum process. It is quite similar to sand
blasting, though less severe. The treatment is gradual and progressive with each session. It is often combined
with collagen stimulating products and skin peels.
The best part of the treatment
is that it is painless and has no "downtime" which means you can have the treatment in your lunch hour and return to work
immediately afterwards. The treatments typically last 20-30 minutes for the face. If your treatment includes the neck and
upper chest area it may last up to an hour. A normal course of microdermabrsion treatments varies between 4-8 at approximately
2 week intervals. Most individuals feel and see a difference after just one or two treatments but have additional treatments
to increase this improvement.
Good candidates for microdermabrasion
are individuals with acne prone or blotchy skin, and those with small scars, fine lines, keratoses, large pores or white spots.
Those with sun damage or uneven skin texture and those wishing to improve the condition of their skin are also suitable for
microdermabrasion.
