Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peels & Facials

Skin rejuvenation is made easy with either or all three of these exfoliating procedures. A microdermabrasion, chemical peel or facial is perfect to complement your laser treatments by exfoliating the dead dry skin that builds up over time. It is also perfect for reducing pore size and minimizing fine lines and an ideal maintenance plan to your skin regimen. The treatments can be as gentle or aggressive as needed, depending on the advice of your medical aesthetician and your personal skin care goals.

Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. Your doctor uses a device similar to a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin.

Your skin is made up of two main layers, the epidermis and the dermis. The epidermis is the layer closest to the outside world. It's a set of dead skin cells on top of another layer of cells that are in the process of maturing. The topmost layer is called the stratum corneum. The stratum corneum mostly acts as a barrier between the outside world and the lower skin layers. It keeps all but the smallest molecules from getting through.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

It is the least invasive dermatological procedure (compared to dermabrasion and laser resurfacing).
It is more affordable than cosmetic surgery.
Micro Derma Abrasion is painless.
It has the fewest side effects and it is effective on all skin types and colors.
Microdermal abrasion does not need anesthetic if performed at a spa, beauty salon or physician's office (unlike surgical skin resurfacing).
It helps your skin look younger, healthy, glowing and for some people, close to perfect.

Testimonial:

“When I came to Derma Health Institute about 6 months ago, I was totally frustrated with my complexion around my mouth and chin. Constant breakouts were common to the point my face never was totally cleared up. After just one facial and a new skin care plan my face cleared up. It’s been the best thing I’ve done for myself in ages and worth every penny. Thank you Derma Health for providing me a great staff and good product!” - Mary R.
