Microdermabrasion: Improving Winter Skin on a Budget!

After the holidays, we tend to forget about the toll outdoor elements,indoor heating and exercise regimens can take on our skin. Here at The Center for Facial Plastic Surgery, we are all about the importance of maintaining clear, healthy & smooth skin throughout the winter months. This can be accomplished through a surprising fast, simple procedure called microdermabrasion. Medical Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating procedure that essentially removes about 30% of the stratum corneum, the dead tissue on your face and neck, that greets all of your family, friends, and colleagues each day! Microdermabrasion is about a 30-minute treatment using an organic crystal compound that swirls the surface of your skin to remove dead tissue that is then whisked away through a vacuum hand-piece. This done over a series of 5-6 treatments about 1 month apart. Microdermabrasion results are both immediate and long-term, leaving newer, healthier modeled skin. With an added bonus, microdermabrasion also helps with photodamage, and fine lines & wrinkles! It is for every skin type & tone. The Center for Facial Plastic Surgery & Laser Skin Care is committed helping you look and feel your very best. Call us for an appointment today!
