Do you ever wish that your face had an even skin tone? If your answer is yes, then you must consider microdermabrasion. This is a non-invasive treatment that gently exfoliates your skin. After few treatment sessions, your complexion appears smoother, brighter, and more even in color. Microdermabrasion appeals to everyone and is safe in all skin types. One can immediately see more youthful skin without any downtime.
Indications
- Age spots.
- Dark spots after acne.
- Dull complexion.
- Melasma
- Uneven skin tone or texture.
Dermatologists use microdermabrasion to improvise the results obtained from anti-aging products. Microdermabrasion allows these products to penetrate deeper into the skin.
What happens during microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion involves using a handheld device that gently removes the toplayer of skin. Agrating/sanding sensation is felt, which is not painful. It takes about 30-40 minutes to treat the entire face and about 20 minutes for the neck. A moisturizer is applied after the treatment.

You are given a skin-care regimen that includes sun protection and miniaturization. Sun protection ensures the best possible results.
Is there any downtime?

When will I see results of microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a type of superficial exfoliation treatment. People like the way microdermabrasion makes their skin look and feel, however it does not address deep acne scars.
