Microdermabrasion is a quick and convenient procedure that has become very popular with patients showing the early signs of aging, sun exposure and other facial imperfections.

Microdermabrasion is a closed vacuum system delivering aluminum oxide crystals to the skin for optimal exfoliation of thickened stubborn layers of dead skin cells. The vacuum cleans away the crystals and skin debris revealing healthier skin.

Is it safe for all skin types?
Yes, microdermabrasion is safe for every skin type and skin color.

Why get a microdermabrasion treatment?
Microdermabrasion is generally suggested for:

• Dull, oily or leathery skin texture
• Minimizing enlarged pores
• Acne prone skin types
• Polishing and reducing fine lines.
• Mild acne scarring
• Mild pigmented irregularities (freckles)
• Minimizing blemishes
• Elimination of white and black heads

How Many treatments are needed?
The number of treatments depends on the patient’s goal and their skin condition. The advanced laser technician will suggest a treatment plan designed to reach the patient’s desired result.

Are there any side effects from the treatment?
Since we are only treating the outer most layer of skin, serious side effects are not a problem. There is virtually no discomfort during or down time after the non-invasive microdermabrasion treatment. Patients typically experience some redness for about an hour after the procedure.

What can I expect after my first treatment?
Though microdermabrasion requires a series of treatments, you can see a visible improvement in the treated skin after the first treatment. Some patients experience a tightness and redness of the skin, comparing it to the feeling of mild sunburn. To restore moisture that is lost during microdermabrasion, Belleza Med Spa LLC offers advanced medical grade skin care by IMAGE and BELLEDERM.

Is the microdermabrasion treatment limited to the face?
No. There are many areas of the body that benefit from microdermabrasion. The most common areas are the face, neck, chest and hands.
