2. Microdermabrasion
Fall is a great time to think about skin resurfacing treatments such as microdermabrasion. After a summer of outdoor fun (full of UV rays, salt, wind, air conditioning etc), such cosmetic treatments create softer and smoother skin for the upcoming winter.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, yet powerful, cosmetic treatment that uses tiny crystals or diamonds to exfoliate and remove the superficial layer of dead and damaged skin cells. It has many benefits including:
It is Painless?
While patients may feel a slight stinging sensation from the diamond-tipped wand, the feeling is not intense.
Quick Treatment Time
While the treatment time will depend on the size and location of the treatment area, most microdermabrasion procedures take approximately 30 minutes.
No Significant Downtime
Microdermabrasion is well-suited for patients who can’t afford to take time off work or spend hours on any beauty procedure.
Reduced Scarring
Microdermabrasion is not only a great way to lessen or eliminate scars, it also provides you with cleaner pores so you have fewer battles with acne and blackheads.
3. Affirm Laser
