Microdermabrasion
In Scottsdale, Arizona
|
Microdermabrasion
is called the "lunchtime procedure" because it is
one of the most effective treatments for exfoliating the skin
with no down time whatsoever. The procedure takes approximately
30 minutes and results are immediate.
By mechanically
removing the outer dead layer of skin, microdermabrasion results
in improved skin tone, refined skin pores, fewer breakouts,
softer healthier-looking skin and a healthy glow. Skin may be
slightly pink after the procedure and make-up can be applied
if necessary. The procedure is virtually painless and no anesthetic
is needed.
The benefits
of microdermabrasion:
- Diminishes
fine lines and wrinkles
- Reduces
acne scarring
- Reduces
dark spots
- Reduces
the appearance of superficial skin damage from aging
and the sun
- Reduces
enlarged pores
- Increases
circulation for healthier skin
- No
interruption of your daily activities.

Microdermabrasion
uses a dual approach in exfoliating the skin — vacuum pressure
and aluminum oxide (diamond) crystals. For those who favor a
more natural approach, organic crystals of soy and cornhusks
are used, either by themselves or in combination with the diamond
crystals.
For ideal results, microdermabrasion is done in a series of
5 treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart. Maintenance can be achieved
in one treatment every 5-8 weeks. With repeated treatments,
microdermabrasion can tighten pores, smooth out skin tone, and
reduce the appearance of acne scars and stretch marks. Multiple
treatments allow the younger softer skin to move to the surface,
resulting in visible improvements in texture, color and appearance.
Microdermabrasion is highly effective if done in conjunction
with chemical peels
or photofacial.
It is appropriate for most skin types and men, as well as women,
benefit from this procedure. |
