What results can you expect?
Regardless of your skin's condition, most patients will notice an improvement in their skin's appearance. Fine lines and age spots may be erased. Acne scars and stretch marks will be less obvious. Many patients report that their skin seems softer, smoother and younger-looking.
Micro-Dermabrasion is ideal for:
• People who cannot afford to take time off for healing from chemicals or lasers. • Active patients who don't want to put off outdoor or social activities like tennis, golf or skiing. • Skin that is sensitive to chemicals or make-up. • Acne-prone skin that has not responded well to acne remedies. • Younger patients with early skin changes who wish for softer, smoother skin.

• Good skin tone. • Good health. • Realistic expectations.
How long do treatments take?
Micro-Dermabrasion treatments usually last about 10 to 30 minutes. However, treatments for stretch marks can take as long as two hours. During your session we focus on your problem areas, but time can be given to other areas of concern.
What are the benefits of Micro-Dermabrasion over other procedures?
• Recovery takes less time. • Treatment sessions take less time. • Discomfort is minimal. • Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
What are Micro-Dermabrasion treatments like?
We effect a superficial skin polishing with the aid of a delicate hand piece, through which micro-crystals are vacuumed. This technique delivers a gentle abrasion which efficiently produces satisfying results in as little as twenty minutes. Micro-Dermabrasion treatments enhance your skin's appearance through a course of weekly sessions. These treatments combat the signs of aging skin, thus achieving what no other available treatment can (without surgery). Most importantly, Micro-Dermabrasion is safe to use on all skin colors and types.
How soon will I see results?
After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh pink glow. Improvement continues throughout your treatment program. The number of treatments recommended for maximum results ranges from two to twelve.
