Dermabrasion
Benefits:
Dermabrasion is ideal for removing scars left from acne, accidents, and previous surgery. It is also highly effective in smoothing fine facial wrinkles and removing pre-cancerous growths. This technique is recommended if you have slightly darker skin because it generally does not produce changes and contrasts in skin color.
How Is It Done?
• You’ll receive local or twilight anesthetic to relax you.
• Your surgeon will use a special scalpel or brush to remove micro-thin layers of skin.
Recovery:
• Your skin will be red and swollen, which will subside within a few days.
• You may also feel mild discomfort.
• Within a week, you should see the fresh new skin.
Microdermabrasion
Benefits:
Make your skin fresher, smoother, and softer. Microdermabrasion is a gentle and effective way to enhance your skin by removing sun damage, acne, blackheads, age spots, pigmented areas, or small scars. The procedure also opens and cleans skin pores of acne-causing debris and bacteria. It involves virtually no recovery time.
How Does It Work?
• Natural, medical-grade mineral crystals are propelled across the surface of the skin.
• This removes superficial, dead-cell layers of the skin, leaving behind a healthier, refined layer.
• Most patients see significant results in 4-6 treatments.
Recovery:
• There is no recovery period.
• Many patients have this procedure done during their lunch hour.
Micropeel
Benefits:
This gives your skin a smooth, refined, youthful glow immediately, with no recovery period.
How Does It Work?
• You need no anesthetic for this procedure.
• First, the skin is exfoliated using a tiny scalpel to remove micro-thin layers of dead-skin cells and keratin. This allows skin products to penetrate the surface.
• Next, a light chemical peel solution is applied to the skin, which may cause a slight tingle.
• Finally, blocked oil pores can be cleansed.
• A sun block and moisturizer are then applied.
Recovery:
• There is usually no discomfort. You can wear make-up and resume activities right away.
• The skin normally looks smoother and refreshed immediately after a micropeel. However, minimal peeling can occur over the next few days.
