Microdermabrasion in Atlanta, Georgia
Why Choose Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. Microdermabrasion is effective in reducing fine lines, "crow's feet," age spots and acne scars. It stimulates the production of skin cells and collagen. It has proven to be a very popular nonsurgical cosmetic procedure.
Technique
The treatment uses a device like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. Each treatment takes from 30 minutes to an hour. The number of treatments recommended for maximal results can range between 5 and 12, spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart. Maintenance of results requires periodic repeat treatments (generally monthly) after the initial regimen is completed. Microdermabrasion may be combined with a light chemical peel to increase the effect. It should always be used in combination with a comprehensive skin care regimen. (see our Skin Care page for more details about Obagi, Kinerase, and Prevage MD).
