What is Microdermabrasion & How does it work?

Microdermabrasion is the most natural way to safely and evenly exfoliate the skin of the face, neck, hands, chest, and back without harsh chemicals or lasers. It is superficial polishing technique. With the use of a delicate hand piece applied to the skin, fine stream of gently abrasive micro-crystals combined with oxygen, are vacuumed across your skin to gently remove the upper layer of dead skin cells.

In addition, at the Vein Laser Center, we use another technique for deeper abrasion and more appealing results. A crystal free method using an abrasive disc is utilized to gently abrade the top layer of skin, leaving behind a younger, softer, smoother, shining, and rejuvenated skin.
Microdermabrasion is a safe non surgical approach to skin care. It minimizes and improves the appearance of:

	Age Spots
	Sun Damaged skin
	Hyperpigmentation, Uneven Skin Color
	Acne and acne Scars
	Scratch Marks
	Enlarged Pores and Blemishes
	Skin Texture, Rough, Thick or Dry Skin
	Clogged Pores, white and Blackheads
	Large Pores
	Fine Lines

The benefits of this treatment are endless. Microdermabrasion will leave you with healthier-looking and feeling skin. It can be used on all types of skin with no significant risk. There’s very little discomfort and the procedure is non invasive. There is no recovery period and there is no down time. Oxygen therapy combined with antioxidants added at the time of treatment will replenish & rejuvenate your skin.

How many treatments will I need and how soon will I see results?
As with most cosmetic procedures, the number of treatments is based largely on an individual basis. To achieve a good result, several treatments (5-9) are recommended. Treatments are typically scheduled one to two weeks apart.
While results are immediate, you will experience a progressive improvement throughout your treatment program. Ask to schedule a consultation to determine the approximate number of treatments recommended for achieving your desired results.

How does my skin look immediately after treatment?
Microdermabrasion leaves your skin feeling soft and silky with a healthy glow. You leave the office with only a mild, temporary pinkness in the treated area.
