If you’re interested in microdermabrasion, learn more about what this treatment can do for your skin.
What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive treatment that treats many aesthetic skin concerns. The procedure uses a gentle abrasive device to exfoliate areas of the epidermis or the outermost layer of skin. Microdermabrasion exposes new, healthier skin, creating a more even skin tone and texture.
At Renaissance Plastic Surgery, our team prioritizes providing treatment focusing on comfort. In most cases, the procedure is painless, and even when sensitive areas are treated, great care is taken to minimize discomfort and provide you with the best possible experience.
What Does It Treat?
One of the many reasons patients love microdermabrasion is because it can address several different skin concerns, including:
- Uneven skin tone
- Uneven skin texture
- Photoaging
- Melasma
- Scars (including acne scars)
- Age spots
- Blackheads
- Light or dark patches
- Stretch marks
- Fine lines
- Wrinkles
- Enlarged pores
How Does Microdermabrasion Affect the Skin?
It helps to understand that microdermabrasion accomplishes two things:
- It exfoliates dead skin and undesired blemishes on the skin through the abrasion probes.
- It promotes an increase in collagen production around the treated area.
Collagen is a protein that the body naturally produces and is responsible for the tight, smooth, bouncy appearance of the skin. But, as we age, the body struggles to produce enough collagen to compensate for the amount being broken down. By promoting collagen production, microdermabrasion can help skin look and feel younger. It’s one of the primary benefits of the procedure.
