Microdermabrasion treats a wide variety of skin problems –  the procedure is ideal for teens, young adults and older adults alike. This treatment provides a quick, simple, safe and affordable option to help recover and restore damaged skin. It also helps to improve skin tone and complexion, delivering radiant, more youthful looking skin.

How does Microdermabrasion work ?

Microdermabrasion is a chemical-free, non-invasive treatment that gently exfoliates to smooth, brighten, and rejuvenate skin. A microdermabrasion device uses crystals or diamond microparticles to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells.

Microdermabrasion works on all skin types and colors. It makes subtle changes, causing no skin color change or scarring.

What can Microdermabrasion treat ?

Symptoms necessitating microdermabrasion include scars, stretch marks, wrinkles, deep acne scars, uneven complexion and blemishes, discoloration and sun damage.

What is a Microdermabrasion session like ?

Microdermabrasion is a simple, safe procedure that can be finished in a relatively short amount of time. A Forefront dermatologist uses tiny rough grains to exfoliate affected areas, leaving skin cleaner and healthier than before.

This technique is less aggressive than dermabrasion.

What results can be expected from Microdermabrasion ?

With microdermabrasion, there is very little downtime as it requires no surgery or anesthetics. Skin is temporarily pink but fully recovers within 24 hours, based on your doctor’s consult it is best to follow a skincare regimen to ensure the best results for your healthy skin.

I saw the most improvement in brightness to complexion and even a little more fullness with the microderm. There is no downtime or discomfort, just make sure to be extra vigilant with the sunscreen afterward.
