Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a
quick and convenient procedure and has become
very popular with patients showing the early signs of aging, sun exposure
and other facial imperfections. Microdermabraions is one of
Board Certified Dermatologist, Debra Jaliman,
MD's most requested procedure at
her Manhattan, New York City office.
Microdermabrasion is non-invasive and
non-wounding to the skin's surface. The microdermabrasion procedure
entails virtually no discomfort, down time or recovery. Patients typically
experience very little redness for about an hour after the procedure.
In addition to the face, microdermabrasion can be successfully used on the
neck, arms and hands. It is also beneficial for patients with darker skin
types. This rejuvenation method is generally indicated for:
- Dull, oily or leathery skin texture
- Contracting enlarged pores
- Exfoliating and suctioning clogged pores in acne cases
- Polishing and reducing fine lines
- Mild acne scarring
- Mild pigment irregularities
- Enhancing penetration of therapeutic agents
Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age
spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production of skin cells and
collagen. Microdermabrasion has proven to be a very popular nonsurgical
cosmetic procedure.
The Microdermabrasion Technique
The hand piece emits crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting in a
gentle abrasion or "polishing" process. Each treatment takes from 30 minutes
to an hour. The number of treatments recommended for maximal results can
range between 5 and 12, spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart. Maintenance of
results requires periodic repeat treatments after the initial regimen is
completed. Microdermabrasion may be combined with a light chemical peel to
increase the effect.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion:
- Virtually no side effects.
- Gives the skin an overall fresh, healthy-looking glow.
- Nonsurgical, safe, effective "lunch hour" procedure.
- Effective on all skin colors and types.
- No anesthetic required.
- Excellent for skin sensitive to chemical procedures.
- Normal activities can be resumed immediately.
