Microdermabrasion

    ORANGE COUNTY, CA, March 25, 2009 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Over one million people will have a microdermabrasion procedure performed this year. It is one of the most popular non-invasive procedures performed in the United States at this time.

Skin is exposed to the elements every day. Years of sun exposure, pollution and other damaging effects take a toll on the skin. Microdermabrasion treatments help reduce or eliminate entirely the following list of skin changes that appear with age or exposure to the elements:

• Wrinkles
• Fine lines
• "Crows' feet"
• Age spots
• Light acne scars
• Pigmentation changes

Microdermabrasion is a treatment that uses non-invasive procedures to remove the outermost layer of dead skin cells to reveal younger, healthier looking skin. Microdermabrasion also encourages growth of new skin cells with improved levels of collagen and elastin, which improves the skin's appearance. This treatment not only includes the skin on the face, but also the neck, chest, arms and hands. Microdermabrasion is non-surgical, pain free and requires no down time after treatment for recovery.

A good candidate for microdermabrasion is someone in good general health. Microdermabrasion is not for someone with a skin infection, severe acne or deep wrinkles. This treatment is for someone with realistic goals and expectations regarding the results of their treatment.

Microdermabrasion is a safe procedure. There are no serious risks associated with this procedure when performed by a highly qualified cosmetic surgeon. Since everyone's skin and health differ, it is necessary to of course consider the risks and benefits of this procedure on a case by case basis.

Microdermabrasion is a quick procedure with little or no discomfort associated with it. The skin usually is glowing pink after the treatment, but that usually fades in hours to a normal skin tone.
