Microdermabrasion

As we age, exposure to the sun, elements, and environmental toxins take its toll on our skin.  The outer epidermal layer becomes thicker and more compact.  The skin loses its elasticity and permeability. Age spots, blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles develop. Because of the thickened epidermis nutrients contained in skincare treatments cannot fully penetrate down to the living, dividing cells in the dermis. Microdermabrasion helps vacuum dead loose skin cells.

Microdermabrasion was first developed in Europe in 1992. Fine crystals are sprayed onto the skin using compressed air. This has the effect of sandblasting’ the outer layer of compressed dead skin cells.  

Microdermabrasion can be combined with chemical peels (a “micro peel”). Chemical peels dissolve the bonds holding the outer epidermal layer onto the skin.  This allows the nutrients in topical skincare treatments to penetrate down to the dermis.  Micro peels can improve the appearance of fine lines and uneven skin tones, remove blackheads, reduce the pore size, and improve skin texture.  Micro peels are safe on all skin types.

While most patients notice an improvement in the appearance of their skin after one treatment, a series of 6 treatments provide optimal results.  Each treatment session takes about 30 minutes from start to finish.  You can reapply your makeup and return to your daily activities immediately after your treatment session.  A specific peel will be chosen at your initial consult depending on your skin type and ethnicity.

Ultrasonic peeling technology uses a handpiece spatula. When the spatula is excited by the electrical current it emits a vibration. The vibrations 27,000 per second force dead skin cells and debris to loosen yet gentle on the skin. Great for sensitive skin.

Using a powerful wand with a silicon tip, vacuum suction is delivered to the skin carrying water, specific serums, alpha & beta hydroxy acids to loosen dead skin cells, sebum, and impurities, lifting them away gently while hydrating the skin simultaneously.

1. The abrasive silicon tip then exfoliates and gently extracts impurities including blackheads and whiteheads, vacuuming them away.
2. The clean and exfoliated skin is very receptive and absorbs maximally any treatments applied thereafter. Specific anti-oxidants, anti-aging, anti-blemish, anti-acne, and many other specific treatments are then applied after the procedure for better penetration and results.
