Microdermabrasion is a technique that uses fine aluminum oxide crystals
to buff the facial skin, removing dead skin cells on the surface, cleaning the
skin of debris and providing exfoliation. You may consider microdermabrasion as
a "high tech" facial.
The advantage of microdermabrasion over laser skin resurfacing is that it can
be done over a lunch hour. Sometimes called a "lunchtime peel," microdermabrasion
has virtually no down time. Redness fades within a few hours. It is safe and all
skin types may be treated. It is also relatively inexpensive. Our office uses the
MegaPeel® system.
