Here's
looking at you...
Microdermabrasion is one of the most frequently sought after non-surgical,
non-invasive skin care treatments available. It has been performed
successfully for
years in Europe and is now one of the most popular cosmetic procedures
in this country for:
• Reducing fine lines and minor scars
• Treating acne blemishes
• Removing sun and age spots
• Cleaning enlarged and clogged pores, blackheads and whiteheads
• Restoring a healthy, smooth feel to skin
• Helping fight signs of aging
• Hyperpigmentation
Microdermabrasion is safe, quick, convenient and proven
effective for all skin colors and types, from light to dark, dry
to oily. This age-defying process can give a brighter, smoother
appearance to any skin area in need of exfoliation such as face,
neck, hands and chest. Whether you have a problem area or just want
a quick pick-me-up; brighter, smoother skin is waiting for you in
just a few treatments.
The benefits are crystal
clear.
A precise stream of aluminum oxide crystals is directed through
a hand piece onto the skin. This, in turn, loosens and exfoliates
the top layer of dead cells. The skin is simultaneously vacuumed
to reveal a fresher, healthier looking you.
Microdermabrasion promotes
the production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layers of the
dermis and stimulates the growth of collagen to further smooth and
improve skin tone and appearance.
Best results are achieved through
a series of treatments and a regular maintenance program.
Recommended for all
skin types.
Microdermabrasion appeals to younger patients as a great way to
reduce occasional blemish flare-ups, a deep cleansing facial and
as preventative skin care to fight the first signs of aging before
they actually appear.
For optimum results, Microdermabrasion involves a series of treatments.
True, modest results may be achieved with a single visit. However,
it is unrealistic and unfounded to expect significant change from
just one treatment.
In the final analysis, the number of treatments depends on the type
of skin you have. Our highly trained professional technicians will
suggest a personal treatment plan designed to reach your desired
result.
Microdermabrasion cannot remove tattoos, major acne scarring, other
deep scars or deep wrinkles. It treats only the skin’s outer
layer (stratum corneum). This being the case, serious side effects
are not an issue. Being totally non-invasive, there is virtually
no discomfort, down time or recovery.
Patients typically experience some redness for about an hour after
the procedure. Healing time for most is just a few days.
Look good,
feel good.
Treatments usually last 20-30 minutes for the face and longer if
you include your upper chest
and hands. Some patients
may experience a tightness and redness of the skin, comparing it
to the feeling of a mild sunburn. To restore moisture that is lost
during treatment, we highly recommend daily application of the Alcamia
moisturizer and skincare regimen. Formulated expressly for
Advanced Laser Clinics, this unique nutrition for the skin uses
specially selected ingredients to create a nourishing lotion that
relieves discomfort and restores moisture while balancing the skin’s
pH. |
