What condition
does the microdermabrasion treat? |
|
The
microdermabrasion procedure can improve and remove blackheads and
whiteheads, fine wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, acne-prone skin, and
superficial age spots. All skin types can be treated. Patients notice
improvement in the texture and appearance of the skin, so that makeup
can be applied more evenly.

How long is
the procedure and what is the recovery period? |
|
The advantage
of this procedure is that it is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that
takes approximately 45 minutes and there is no recuperative period. Makeup
can be applied directly after the procedure. There is little pain or
discomfort and no downtime.

Are there any
risks with the procedure? |
|
There are
minimal risks with the procedure, the most common side effect being redness
of the skin which usually is gone after a few hours and easily covered with
makeup; however, men having the procedure performed are finding that the
redness is minor and short lasting.

How many times
does the procedure need to be performed to achieve results? |
|
The average
patient requires eight treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart to see the best
results. However, it appears that because patients do see continuing
results, many choose to have the procedure performed monthly as a
maintenance treatment.
