| Microdermabrasion is effective in
reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age spots and acne
scars. It stimulates the production of skin cells and
collagen. It has proven to be a very popular
non-surgical cosmetic procedure.
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.
