Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a wonderful treatment option that is catching the nation by storm.  Noted
in Vogue and Allure magazine as “One of the Best Kept Secrets in Skin Care”, it is a wonderful option to help exfoliate the most superficial layer of your skin which helps unclog pores, remove bacteria, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and even out skin tone by reducing sun damaged skin.  It involves no recovery time, almost no discomfort, and allows you to resume normal activities immediately.

What is the treatment like?
This procedure is not painful (only a slight suctioning and abrasion sensation), requires no anesthesia, and will not adversely lighten or darken dark skin, as some exfoliating treatments can do.  Here at BioDerm Skin Care & Laser Center, we use medical grade physician-strength microdermabrasion cosmeceuticals that involves tiny crystal particles accelerated to your skin to help gently exfoliate the top layer of dead skin, which in turn will stimulate new and healthy skin growth. Our professional staff will adjust the abrasion strength as needed depending on the individual skin condition. Following the treatment, your face is revitalized by our physician only skin care product line to help rejuvenate, moisturize and protect your skin.  You can then immediately resume your regular activities, with only mild skin pinkness, which generally fades within an hour or two.  It will leave you with a beautiful, healthy, radiant glow.  

What can it treat?
Microdermabrasion is able to reduce fine lines and wrinkles, blackheads and whiteheads, superficial pigmentation, remove acne forming bacteria, improve acne scarring, and give the skin a healthy, fresh glow.

Who are candidates?
Microdermabrasion is ideal for individuals who don't want to undergo any downtime or long healing time, high expenses, severe discomfort, and possible side effects of alternative skin resurfacing treatments such as deep chemical peels, dermabrasion or laser skin resurfacing. 
Generally, anyone is a candidate.

How long does it take?
A full face treatment typically lasts about 15 - 30 minutes so it can actually be done during your
lunch break.  A microdermabrasion is a simple way to maintain healthy skin year round, and can complement your home skin care regimen.  

What skin care products are recommended in combination with microdermabrasion?
These treatments will likely be combined with physician-prescribed medical strength skin care
products, from a physician only product line, to enhance the results of the microdermabrasion
treatment.

How long will the results last?
The duration of the effects of each treatment will depend on how vigilant you are at maintaining adequate hydration of your skin with moisturizers and how well you protect your skin from the sun with sunscreen SPF 15 or higher.  Following the initial series, periodic maintenance microdermabrasion treatments (every few weeks, depending on the skin condition) are sometimes recommended.
