■ MICRODERMABRASION

Skincare today is commonly considered an integral part of a standard beauty, or even healthcare regimen. With all of the external elements such as sun and pollution, as well as the internal conditions, including acne and aging that effect the skin - many individuals schedule a series of microdermabrasion appointments as routinely as they do their hair.

It’s written all over your face:

• Acne
• Early effects of aging
• Sunspots
• Blotches
• Dry skin

...and your dissatisfaction when you look in the mirror.

With microdermabrasion, the reflection in your mirror will improve quickly and easily. You will likely see, and feel, an improvement in your skin after a single treatment. And for far less cost than many other more drastic skin procedures.

Non-invasive, and indicated for most skin types, as well as those allergic to some chemicals, microdermabrasion gently sloughs away the outer layer of dead skin cells, leaving your skin:

• Fresher
• Smoother
• Softer to the touch
• Rejuvenated, with collagen promoting stimulation

If you do not want to give up your outdoor activity time or, do not have any time to give up, microdermabrasion treatments may be the perfect choice for you.

Preparation:
During your consultation with us, you may be given a skincare regimen to follow that will help “prep” your skin.

Procedure:
A delicate hand-wand is “waved” over your face, using micro-crystals that actually polish your skin. The vacuum-like motion works to slough off the dead top layer and leave the surface of your skin flake-free, renewed and glowing.

Immediately following, your face may be treated with special products designed to moisturize your skin.

Microdermabrasion treatments last about a half hour, and with the relaxing application of soothing products post treatment, you can expect to be in the office for approximately an hour.

Although you will see immediate results from one session, microdermabrasion has a cumulative effect. The schedule is generally set for you to come in for treatment once every two weeks for 2-to-12 treatments, depending on your particular skin condition and desired results.

There is no discomfort or recovery period associated with microdermabrasion and you can continue your daily activities after your appointment. In fact, your skin will look so good, you will probably want to.

Aftercare:
We suggest you follow a skincare regimen that includes the use of sun-block with an SPF of fifteen or greater. At Skin & Vein, we are passionate about carrying the most advanced skin products and cosmetic lines on the market to help keep your skin looking its best. You will learn about all of this and more during your Complimentary Consultation with our skincare specialists.

Results:
A soft and glowing complexion.

Precautions:
There are very few risks associated with microdermabrasion. But as with all things about your skincare, buyer beware. Having the procedure performed here at Skin & Vein, under the supervision of Board Certified Dermatologists, as opposed to a salon or spa, greatly reduces any possible risks.
