Microdermabrasion Though surgery can target the underlying problems associated with aging, it cannot alter the appearance of the skin, including the presence of sun damage, fine lines, or blemishes. Microdermabrasion treats the skin by gently exfoliating and removing its damaged outer layers, allowing youthful, fresh skin to appear. How does it work? A hand piece emits crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting in a gentle abrasion which polishes the skin. Over time, the appearance of the skin noticeably improves. Microdermabrasion is use to improve the condition of dull or oily skin textures, the appearance of fine lines, mild acne scaring and mild pigment irregularities. Treatments typically last for about 15 minutes and are repeated every week or two for a period of time determined by your doctor. It is safe for patients with darker skin tones and can be successfully used on the neck, arms and hands as well as the face. Chemical Peels A Chemical Peel is an excellent option for people who want a faster, more dramatic change in the appearance of their skin.
