Microdermabrasion
If you've been looking for a sensible skin-smoothing strategy, now you've found it. Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical exfoliating procedure for both men and women. Performed one time or in a series, it can revitalize the skin's youthful appearance and smoothness.
Why microdermabrasion?
- Excellent results. Microdermabrasion may reduce fine lines and wrinkles, age spots, scars or other superficial blemishes. It safely and effectively addresses sun damage and certain types of mild acne scarring.
- Efficiency. One session generally takes 30 minutes, then you can return to your busy day. Imagine: softer, smoother, younger looking skin within minutes.
- Safety. At MeritCare Dermatology, you can rest assured you're receiving high-quality care delivered by trained medical professionals. Led by board-certified dermatologists, our team regards your health and safety as the top priority.
How does microdermabrasion work?
Step 1: A small handpiece directs a stream of very fine crystals onto the targeted area, loosening the layer of dead skin cells that forms on the surface.
Step 2: The skin debris and the crystals are gently, carefully lifted away.
Step 3: The result? Fresh, invigorated skin – it's a difference you can see and feel.
Is microdermabrasion right for me?
Before treatment begins, a consultation takes place with MeritCare Dermatology to help ensure you will be happy with your results. Few risks are associated with microdermabrasion*. The professionals at MeritCare Dermatology will advise you.
Sounds expensive – is it?
Microdermabrasion is relatively inexpensive when you compare it to the cost of cosmetic surgery or the many creams you may have tried that haven't produced the desired results. MeritCare Dermatology is competitively priced with package discounts. And there's another aspect that's priceless: the peace of mind you'll have in knowing the treatment is performed at a place you trust by trained medical professionals who have your best interest in mind.
* Microdermabrasion may cause tautness and a slight redness to the skin, which will subside within a few hours. Although uncommon, some patients may experience streaking of the skin from increased blood flow. This will fade over a day or two.
