Why Microdermabrasion is Your Solution

Microdermabrasion uses tiny exfoliating crystals that are sprayed on the skin. It works best on problems such as dull skin, brown spots, and age spots.   Because it is non-invasive and does not use aggressive chemicals like peels, microdermabrasion is best used for surface skin rejuvenation.   

The technique also helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion. Collagen is a protein in your skin that's abundant when you're a child and makes skin appear taut and smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin.

Microdermabrasion is used to treat light scarring, discoloration and sun damage, and can be used to lessen the appearance of stretch marks.  According to the American Society of Plastic Surgeons, microdermabrasion can:
  • Reduce fine lines and mild to moderate wrinkles.
  • Treat acne and acne scars.
  • Eliminate age spots or Dark spots (hyperpigmentation) from sun damage and hormonal changes.
  • Reduce or eliminate large pores.
  • Eliminate white heads and black heads.
  • Lessen the appearance of stretch marks.
  • Exfoliate your skin, resulting in a refreshed appearance.
Microdermabrasion has other benefits as well. For example, it can:
  • Prepare the skin for more aggressive skin treatments.
  • Provide overall exfoliation to eliminate dullness.
  • Be effective on darker skin, unlike laser and peel treatments.
  • Enhance cosmetic surgery results.
  • Allow for optimal absorption of your skincare products. 
  • Provoke intradermal stimulation that enhances the skin’s ability to heal acne.
Overall, this is an effective, non-invasive, and painless treatment for superficial and mild skin issues. With each treatment, there is a gradual improvement in skin tone and texture giving you a more youthful glow.  In salon or office treatments average around $150 per visit.  For less than $300, you can purchase the Redefine Marco Exfoliator from Rodan+Fields and have the same results in the safety of your own home.  Use the MACRO E just once a week for about 5 minutes. After just one use, you will see visible results.

Do not use microdermabrasion if you are using Accutane (Accutane is an aggressive acne treatment), you have cancerous lesions, or if you have other active skin infections.
