Microdermabrasion
FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions)
What condition does the microdermabrasion treat?
The microdermabrasion procedure can improve and remove blackheads and whiteheads, fine wrinkles, sun-damaged skin, acne-prone skin, and superficial age spots. All skin types can be treated. Patients notice improvement in the texture and appearance of the skin, so that makeup can be applied more evenly.
How long is the procedure and what is the recovery period?
The advantage of this procedure is that it is a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure that takes approximately 45 minutes and there is no recuperative period. Makeup can be applied directly after the procedure. There is little pain or discomfort and no downtime.
Are there any risks with the procedure?
There are minimal risks with the procedure, the most common side effect being redness of the skin which usually is gone after a few hours and easily covered with makeup; however, men having the procedure performed are finding that the redness is minor and short lasting.
How many times does the procedure need to be performed to achieve results?
The average patient requires eight treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart to see the best results. However, it appears that because patients do see continuing results, many choose to have the procedure performed monthly as a maintenance treatment.
