Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a less invasive procedure focused on exfoliating the outer skin layer. Here’s what you should know about microdermabrasion:

• Procedure: The provider uses a diamond-tipped or crystal-emitting handpiece to gently exfoliate dead skin.
• Treatment depth: Microdermabrasion is a superficial treatment that primarily targets the epidermis (the top layer of the skin). It effectively addresses minor concerns such as dull, mild acne, fine lines, and superficial scars.
• Anesthesia: Microdermabrasion is typically a painless procedure that does not require anesthesia. During the treatment, patients experience a mild scratching sensation or a slight tingling.
• Downtime and recovery: Since microdermabrasion is less aggressive, minimal downtime is involved. Patients may experience temporary redness or mild discomfort, but they can generally resume their regular activities immediately.
