| What is Micro-Dermabrasion? Micro-Dermabrasion is a revolutionary new skin restoration process. It is used for skin resurfacing and to treat a range of skin abnormalities. It helps to regenerate the epidermal cell structure increasing skin's elasticity and collagen, resulting in a more youthful skin. How does it work? This gentle technique is performed with a jet of fine micro-crystals. These crystals are vacuumed across the skin to remove the dead and damaged skin cells and to stimulate the collagen beneath the surface of the skin, creating better skin tone. Is this new technology? It has been widely used in Western Europe for over 10 years and has been approved by the FDA in the United States in recent years. What type of skin can benefit from Micro-Dermabrasion? Aging skins, fine lines, wrinkles, brown spots/discoloration, acne scars, congested skins, enlarged pores, blemished skins, devitalized skins, dull skins, thickened skins, chicken pox scars and scratch marks can benefit from Micro-Dermabrasion. Who can perform this treatment? A physician or licensed medical professional. How does this compare to other Chemical Peels? Micro-Dermabrasion is a safe and effective alternative to the use of chemical acid peels. The results are more predictable and can be accomplished in gradual stages with no down-time or redness. In most cases patients see immediate results with quicker recovery. Is this treatment painful? No. It is virtually painless. How does this compare with traditional Dermabrasion or cosmetic surgery? Traditional Dermabrasion often is painful for patients, and in some cases may result in negative effects such as unnatural skin texture, a loss of pigmentation or scarring. Traditional Dermabrasion requires anesthetics. How long does each treatment take? The procedure usually takes between 20 to 30 minutes. What areas of the skin are mostly treated by Micro-Dermabrasion? Face and neck, elbows and knees, hands and feet, shoulders, and stretch marks on abdomen and hips are the areas most often treated. What types of skin and color can be treated? All types of skin and color can be treated. How soon will I see some improvement? You should see some positive results with even one single treatment. In many cases, the results have been virtually miraculous. Is the treatment safe? Yes, the entire treatment is performed in a sterile
environment. There are almost no side effects and little trauma to the
skin. All instruments that contact the treatment area are either
disposable or used exclusively for you. |
