Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure that rejuvenates skin tone and texture. An applicator with an abrasive surface passes over cleansed skin, gently sanding away the thick outer layer, opening the pores, and exfoliating what a cleanser cannot reach.
The practice performs it with the DiamondTome system, which exfoliates with diamond chips and suctions away the dead skin cells as it works, a high precision pass that unclogs pores and removes the surface layers of skin. It is quick, pain free, and typically needs very little downtime.
It is a safe treatment for most skin types and colors, and it is not limited to the face: the same exfoliation is used to improve stretch marks on the body. What is left behind is smoother, healthier, glowing skin.
One session leaves skin glowing. A monthly one keeps it that way, which is the cadence the practice recommends for skin that looks its best and stays its healthiest.
Exfoliation by diamond chip. A high precision procedure that suctions away dead skin cells as it passes, unclogging pores and removing the surface layers of skin to leave it smoother, healthier and rejuvenated.
Your skin is cleansed, your pores are opened with steam, and a second cleanse follows before the treatment begins. The device has been described as feeling like sandpaper, but any discomfort is minimal and tolerable. Some patients notice light peeling as it passes, which is normal: it is just dead skin being brushed away.
The practice recommends a treatment once a month. That cadence keeps the outer layer freshly exfoliated, so skin looks its best and stays its healthiest.
The problem sits on the surface.So does the treatment.
Microdermabrasion works by removing the thick outer layer of skin, so the concerns it treats best are the ones living in that layer. Their list runs from sun damage to melasma; if yours is on it, a consultation is where the plan starts.
ModelSun damage
Years of sun show up first in the outermost skin. Sanding that layer away and exfoliating what remains is exactly what this treatment is built for.
Fine lines and wrinkles
A virtually pain free way of decreasing the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles while improving overall texture.
Age and brown spots
Age, brown and liver spots, along with broader hyperpigmentation, sit in the surface layers the applicator removes.
Acne and acne scarring
Unclogging pores helps with active acne, and the exfoliation helps with the scarring it leaves behind.
Melasma and dull tone
Melasma, uneven tone and a dull complexion all respond to a fresh surface, which is why the practice recommends coming back monthly.
