Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a simple and safe way to improve your complexion and get the most from your skin care regimen. Our office uses the best microdermabrasion system available and our patients have been highly satisfied with the results.

We administer microdermabrasion treatments to improve conditions related to sun damage and other superficial skin issues; hyperpigmentation, blemishes, mild acne scars, acne, and fine wrinkles are just some of the common indications.

Microdermabrasion only removes a minor amount of skin, so sensitive areas like the face, chest, neck, back, arms and hands can be easily treated. Microdermabrasion is a pain-free procedure, so there's no need for anesthesia.
 

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion works by blowing abrasive crystals onto the face and suctioning them off with a special handpiece. The operator passes the device over your skin, performing gentle mechanical abrasion to resurface and exfoliate. People prefer microdermabrasion because it is a less aggressive method than other skin rejuvenation methods such as laser skin resurfacing or even a chemical peel.

Since microdermabrasion devices are exempt from FDA regulation, you can find this treatment at several Maryland medical spas, where staff might not be sufficiently educated on skin rejuvenation procedures.
