Medical Microdermabrasion:

Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure performed under the supervision of a certified medical practitioner.

The initial consultation includes an evaluation of your skin type and a discussion of your skin care needs. A sample treatment may also be performed on your hand to verify the painlessness and effectiveness of microdermabrasion.

For years, skin problems such as acne, fine lines and sun damage have been treated with lasers and chemical peels. Now, there is a modern, safe and virtually painless alternative to chemical and laser peels... DERMA GENESIS® Microdermabrasion.

Microdermabrasion is setting a new standard for skin care. The procedure is fast, predictable and painless... the perfect lunch hour anti-ageing treatment which takes less than 30 minutes.

The Process: How it works DERMA GENESIS® Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead, outermost layers of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.

Microdermabrasion is commonly used to treat and/or diminish:

• blackheads and whiteheads
• fine lines and wrinkles
• sun damaged skin
• acne prone skin
• superficial age spots
• hyperpigmentation
• oily skin
• dry or patchy skin

The procedure is performed by using a hand piece that the operator passes over the skin two or three times. This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin.

The underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion and the vacuum. This promotes the generation of new collagen, which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effects of ageing.
