If you feel your skin is looking dull, or you have sun damaged
skin,acne, acne scarring, or open pores the Dermagenesis Medical
Microdermabrasion might be just what you need. With over a
decade of success in Europe, the microdermabrasion procedure has
been used to treat millions of satisfied people.
The benefits of microdermabrasion over chemical peels and laser
includes less pain or discomfort, minimal risk, no recovery time and
it is suited for all skin types. Medical Microdermabrasion is setting
a new standard for skincare. The procedure is fast predictable and
painless.

Microdermabrasion is commonly used
to treat and diminish:
•

Blackheads & whiteheads
Fine lines & wrinkles
Sun damaged skin
Acne prone skin
Acne scarring
Superficial age spots
Hyperpigmentation
Oily skin
Dry or patchy skin
Certain types of stretch marks

The procedure is performed using a hand piece that passes over the
skin two or three times. This evenly removes the stratum corneum,
the outermost layer of skin. The vacuum action of the machine also
stimulates collagen production.
Not all Microdermabrasion machines are the same. Dermagenesis
Medical Microdermabrasion used in doctors clinics, uses a highly
controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead
outermost layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new,
living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.
Some milder machines polish the skins surface but medical machines
remove deeper layers of the skin.
Most people will notice their skin looks fresher with one treatment,
but to achieve optimum, longer lasting results and treat problem
skins you will need a course of 4-6 treatments. You may experience
slight redness for 24 hours, but it is not very noticeable and you can
easily cover with make up.
After the age of 25, our skin cell turnover slows down from 4-6
weeks to 8-12 weeks, leaving our skin duller and allowing impurities
to build up within the skin, resulting in blackheads, pimples and
open pores.
Spring is a great time to Microderm, as our skin can appear dry from
central heating, and harsh weather. It’s a spring clean for your skin.
