MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion (MDA), is a mechanical exfoliation procedure for superficial skin resurfacing.

​

Microdermabrasion is used for treatment of:

• Photoaging skin

• Rough skin texture

• Hyperpigmentation

• Acne simplex

• Acne vulgaris (not pustules)

• Fine lines

• Superficial scars

• Dull sallow skin colour

• Enlarged skin pores

• Keratosis pilaris

• Thickened scaling skin

• Dry skin

• Seborrheic keratosis scaling

• Enhanced penetration of topical skin products and chemical peels

​

Advantages of Microdermabrasion:

• Almost any area of the body requiring exfoliation could be treated with MDA (i.e. face, neck, chest - decolletage, hands, back)

• Controlled depth of exfoliation

• Safe for all Fitzpatrick skin types when it is done professionally (the Fitzpatrick skin type describes skin type by its reaction to the sunlight)

• Minimal to no discomfort during the procedure

• No anesthesia required

• Minimal risk of complications

• Generally no recovery time post procedure

• May be combined with other aesthetic treatments (i.e. laser skin rejuvenation like Clear Silk or skin genesis, topical skin products and chemical peels, Healite LED photo therapy)

​

Results:

Microdermabrasion results are progressive. Improvement in skin texture and skin brightness may be observed after a single treatment, more marked improvements including reduction of hyperpigmentation, acne, and fine lines typically require a series of six treatments (may be performed every 2-4 weeks during a treatment series). To maintain the results after the initial series, treatments may be performed every 4-6 weeks.
