Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical skin exfoliation technique that helps resurface the skin. Microdermabrasion exfoliation is performed with medical grade mineral crystals which brush the skin's surface with the aid of a gentle vacuum. This action removes dead and damaged cells at the skin's surface. As the dead skin cells are removed, a fresh, healthy skin is revealed. The skin is left soft and supple, the complexion is improved, creating a healthy, youthful glow.
Depending on the unique needs of each microdermabrasion patient, this procedure might require 30 minutes to an hour to complete. While even a single treatment can improve the skin’s appearance, Dr. Goldberg recommends that patients undergo a series of microdermabrasion procedures and possibly combining with chemical peels and/or photot rejuventation to achieve the best possible results. Microdermabraison treatments are usually kept at 2-3 week intervals and maintenance treatments are usually performed once a month.
After a microdermabrasion treatment, the skin may feel tight. Some individuals experience light flaking of the skin, therefore, it is important to use a good at home skin care regime as advised by our skin care specialists for optimal results. Otherwise there are minimal side effects.
