MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure in which the dead outermost surface of the skin is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc oxide or aluminum oxide crystals or fine organic particles. Particles and removed material are then vacuumed off the skin..

Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin, to decrease age spots as well as fine lines around the eyes, lips and neck. Scars raised above the surrounding skin respond well to Microdermabrasion. This procedure can be used for the treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective. Microdermabrasion can be preformed anywhere on the body and requires no anaesthetic. The procedure takes less than 30 minutes to complete and results are seen immediately.
