The Benefits of Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure offered by your Forest Hills, NY, dermatologist to address a wide variety of skin concerns. So if you wish to improve the overall appearance of your skin and are dealing with some of these common problems then microdermabrasion may be the treatment for you. Find out if you are a candidate for the treatment and learn much more about it by contacting Dr. Tamara Moss of Moss Dermatology.

How Does It Work?

Employing your body's own ability to heal, microdermabrasion works in a similar way to chemical peels. Both treatments remove some of the rough outer skin layer to promote cell growth and healing within a safe and controlled environment. During the procedure, your dermatologist uses a special tool that with an abrasive gently eliminates dead skin cells and unclogs pores. Which are also suctioned off with this same device. Some redness may occur after the treatment, including some minor swelling, and you may be advised against spending too long in the sun after the treatment.

What Are The Benefits?

Many turn to microdermabrasion to treat acne and acne-related scars, but it has many other benefits. Because it can increase the skin's production of collagen it can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles. It can also help with stretch marks, scars, and a variety of other skin concerns, as well as generally improving the overall appearance of your skin. But speak with your dermatologist first as microdermabrasion may not be the best solution for severe skin problems, but you may have other options.
