Lost that healthy, youthful skin glow? Noticing sun damage or brown "age" spots, fine lines and wrinkles, adult acne, dry or flaky skin, rough skin texture, uneven skin tone or acne scars?
Microdermabrasion is perfect for treating superficial skin disorders like these. First developed by two Italian cosmetologists in the 1980's, it's a safe procedure and completely non- invasive. The results are also instantaneous because it targets the top layer of the skin - the epidermis.
The microderm exfoliation treatment process gently removes the top layers of dead skin cells making your face healthier, evenly toned and firmer than before. In addition to removing damaged skin, the procedure stimulates the growth of new, healthy cells and the production of collagen and elastin fibers.
Each treatment lasts approximately thirty minutes and progressive improvement in the skin is noted with each treatment.
This microdermabrasion video explains the procedure in detail. And below are illustrative before and after images.
Additional benefits of facial microdermabrasion include:
• No anesthetics are needed.
• The treatment is almost painless
• Can be performed quickly and a session is completed less than a hour
• Periodic sessions lead to maximum benefit.
• It's perfect for all skin types and for both men and women
In addition, microdermabrasion can be used successfully on other areas of the body as well (e.g., neck, hands, chest).
Thousands of microdermabrasion treatments have been performed at SkinHealth Centers in Wellesley and Boston MA as part of an exclusive SkinHealth treatment protocol. The results have been outstanding. In general, SkinHealth Center will recommend during a complimentary consultation between four and twelve treatments, depending on the results you are trying to achieve.
