What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion uses Corundum crystals to aggressively exfoliate away the dull layer of dead skin, smooth and retexturize, leaving the skin soft and glowing.A slight vacuum is also present to remove the exfoliated cells and Corundum from your skin surface.
The skin perceives the Corundum particle exfoliation as an injury and your skin starts producing new fresh cells more rapidly. It is an exciting way to awaken nature's rejuvenation within your skin. Your skin will appear smooth and retexturized.

Am I a Microdermabrasion Candidate?
In general, good microdermabrasion candidates are adults who are in good physical health, with realistic expectations for the outcome of their treatment. People who do not have enough available time to undergo more invasive skin resurfacing treatments such as dermabrasion, laser skin resurfacing, or chemical peels may also be good candidates for microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion for Acne
Microdermabrasion can be used to treat acne and the scars that acne causes. Microdermabrasion treatments can eliminate or greatly reduce the appearance of lighter scarring. However, for deep acne scars (known as "pock marks" or "ice-pick acne scars") microdermabrasion may not be able to provide desired results. Deeper scars can usually be effectively treated with dermabrasion or an chemical peel or laser resurfacing. Patients with active acne may also benefit from microdermabrasion treatments, which exfoliate the skin and clear clogged pores of oil and dirt. Because the polishing action of the crystal and the removal of skin cells can aggravate acne, however, a consultationis advised to help determine whether your acne or acne scars can be effectively treated with microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion Recovery and Results
Microdermabrasion is often called a "lunch hour" treatment because it’s a quick procedure that can be performed at a doctor’s office during your lunch hour with little or no discomfort. The treated skin may be pink after the treatment, but this will usually fade within a few hours. You can apply makeup soon after undergoing microdermabrasion to conceal any visible signs of the treatment. Microdermabrasion recovery and results are among the most favorable of all the noninvasive facial treatments available today.
