What is a Medical Microdermabrasion treatment?

A medical microdermabrasion treatment safely exfoliates dead skin cells for smoother, healthier, less blotchy-looking skin.* It can be performed on the lightest to darkest skin tones, and treatment areas include the face, neck, and chest. Treatments on the arms, back, and other areas can be scheduled as well. The procedure is non-surgical and involves virtually no discomfort or downtime. Dermacare’s microdermabrasion treatment unit is crystal-free and is equipped with a diamond encrusted wand and vacuum system.

Indications:

– Dull or dry skin
– Congested pores
– Leathery skin texture

How long does the treatment take?

A single procedure takes between 20 to 30 minutes and should be repeated at intervals of two to four weeks depending on skin type and condition. Treatments begin with a thorough cleansing of the face while hot stones are used to loosen up tense shoulder and upper back muscles. Following the microdermabrasion treatment the aesthetician will apply a calming masque to the skin.
