Microdermabrasion Treatment

Ever looked in the mirror and wished that your facial skin had an even tone? If yes, then you may want to consider microdermabrasion. This non-invasive procedure gently exfoliates the skin. After a series of treatments, the complexion may appear smoother, brighter and more even. Results vary. 

Microdermabrasion may help with:

• Dull complexion
• Uneven skin tone
• Uneven skin texture
• Age spots
• Dark spots
• Melasma

Your doctor will assess whether it is suitable for your concerns or whether another treatment is more appropriate.

Who is a good candidate?

Suitability depends on your skin, medical history and expectations. Tell your doctor about medicines, including current or recent isotretinoin use, cold sores and a tendency to scar easily.

What to expect?

Microdermabrasion is done using micro particles, or a diamond-tipped wand, to gently remove the outermost layer of skin.

Each procedure will last for around half an hour, and the patient may feel a mild scratching sensation as the procedure removes the skin cells, and also a vibrating sensation similar to that of a massage.

Many people resume normal activities promptly, but redness, swelling or sensitivity may occur. Recovery varies.

After treatment, follow your doctor’s advice on moisturizer and sun protection. Results are temporary, and follow-up treatments may be needed.
