Microdermabrasion for Age & Brown Spots
Microdermabrasion is a safe, effective procedure that gently removes dead and flaking skin cells to create an immediate improvement in your skin's appearance. This helps expose fresh young skin cells, and improves the appearance of the skin. Microdermabrasion treatments are gentle and take very little time, making them a very popular dermatology procedure. These mild yet effective treatments help remove brown spots and improve skin texture around the eyes, lips and neck. Acne and very mild acne scars can also be decreased with these treatments. Deeper acne scars, however, will likely need more advanced treatments, such as the Active FX fractional carbon dioxide resurfacing laser.
What results can you expect?
Most patients will notice an improvement in the texture and appearance of their skin after two to three treatments. Improvements in brown age spots or sun spots are usually most obvious, as well as improvements in acne and inflammatory lesions. Many patients report that their skin seems softer, smoother and younger-looking.
What are Microdermabrasion Treatments like?
We use a delicate hand piece to gently exfoliate the skin with micro-crystals. This technique causes a mild abrasion which produces satisfying results. The treatments are gentle and not painful. We generally recommend several treatments, spaced 2-4 weeks apart, for optimal results.
How soon will I see results?
After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh pink glow. Improvement continues throughout your treatment program, with brown spots fading after several sessions. Microdermabrasion is ideal for patients with skin that is sensitive to chemicals, people who cannot afford to take time off for healing from chemical or laser treatments, patients with active acne or acne scarred skin, and younger patients with early skin changes who wish for softer, smoother skin.
How long do treatments take?
Microdermabasion treatments usually last about 25 to 30 minutes. During your session, we focus on your problem areas, but time can be given to other areas of concern.
What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion over more invasive procedures?
* Recovery takes minimal time
* Normal activities can be resumed immediately
* Treatment sessions are quick
* Discomfort is minimal
