Boston, Massachusetts Cosmetic Surgeon
Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure for treating superficial and deep skin damage resulting from trauma, aging, or sun exposure. Microdermabrasion uses a directed stream of micro-crystals combined with vacuum to rejuvenate the skin. Crystal microdermabrasion is a powerful but gentle anti-aging procedure that exfoliates, refreshes, and renews your skin. It is an effective therapy that, when used alone or in combination with surgery, facials, moisturizing treatments, and chemical peels, reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, brown spots, acne scars and other skin imperfections. Optimal results can be seen after five to eight sessions, depending upon skin type and skin condition.
