The Lunch Time Peel
Microdermabrasion is a process where the outer layer of skin is removed by
gentle abrasion. This refreshes the skin and gives it a healthy glow like you
had as a child. Microdermabrasion is a for treatment of sun damage, age
spots, pigmented lesions, black heads, white heads, open or oily pores,
acne scars and generally smoothing the facial tone and texture. The procedure
is essentially painless and leaves you with a fresh feeling and your skin
with a fresh glow. Microdermabrasion is very helpful for acne as well.
Raised scars are improved by this process as well. Laser procedures are
more effective with a
microdermabrasion just prior to the laser treatment
to allow a more even penetration of the laser.
A microdermabrasion is the ideal touch up before a big event or as routine skin maintenance. It is sometimes called a lunch time peel because it can be done over your lunch break and you return to work with a nice healthy glow. As a routine, it battles the damage of the sun and age when you are not ready for more aggressive treatments.
Microdermabrasion is used to soften harsh skin like we find on our hands, elbows, knees and feet. The stream of crystals is ideal for the feet to soften the calluses that are so common there. Try it and feel the difference!
Microdermabrasion will treat many of the imperfections of skin, but on a slower pace than some of the more aggressive treatments. One ideal position for the microdermabrasion is before more aggressive therapy so the laser or a peel can be more even and effective. After the more aggressive treatments, it is the perfect procedure to maintain your skin’s health. |
