Microdermabrasion
This procedure is often inaccurately associated with dermabrasion, which is an aggressive resurfacing technique. By contrast, microdermabrasion is very gentle. A specially designed diamond tip lifts dead and damaged cells, while gentle suction removes the debris. The result is softer, smoother, more supple skin with an improved tone and complexion.
Benefits:
This gentle resurfacing of skin has a variety of benefits. Microdermabrasion may be recommended to treat:
- Rough, uneven skin texture or large pores
- Hyperpigmentation, such as solar lentigines (also called age spots or liver spots)
- Superficial wrinkles and fine lines
- Complexion problems and dull skin
- Uneven skin tone
- General signs of aging and sun damage
