What is Microdermabrasion?
posted: Aug. 27, 2018.
Everything from makeup and skincare products to environmental pollutants and the sun can leave skin looking and feeling dull, uneven. Or maybe you suffer from pigmentation and dark spots, acne scars, or the effects of the aging process. Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment designed to deeply exfoliate your skin and improve the texture and tone. Dr. Tamara Moss, a dermatologist in Forest Hills, NY, offers microdermabrasion and other cosmetic and medical treatment options to help you achieve younger, clearer, healthier looking skin.
Rejuvenate Your Skin with Microdermabrasion in Forest Hills, NY
Because microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure, you can expect to see the results fairly quickly, without the healing and recovery period involved with some other forms of treatment. It also works for all skin tones from fair to dark. Even if you use the best anti-aging and skincare products, at some point you may notice that the product is not absorbed as deeply into your skin, or may leave behind a film or feel heavy on your skin. Microdermabrasion deeply exfoliates your skin so that your pores are clear and your products can work on your skin. It can also stimulate collagen production (which naturally slows down with aging) to improve common signs of aging like fine lines and wrinkles and dry skin.
How Microdermabrasion Works
The treatment uses tiny micro-crystals to remove the surface layer of dead skin cells, without chemicals or more invasive procedures in the deeper layers of the skin. In addition to removing dead skin cells, microdermabrasion can trigger a mild healing response to the stimulation, stimulating collagen, and elastin production. Some people may experience mild swelling or redness for a short time after the procedure.
