Vibradermabrasion

Vibradermabrasion is the latest in skin care technology.  It is an effective and clinically proven method of removing layers of damaged skin tissue, leaving healthier and more radiant skin.  Unlike other exfoliation methods, treatment with Vibraderm takes only 20 to 30 minutes for the face/neck and upper chest - virtually half the time!  Vibradermabrasion treatment diminishes trauma to the skin, with very little redness and no swelling.

Instead of abrasive particulate and suction method of other dermabrasion methods, Vibraderm uses patient-specific sculpted paddles designed for single patient use.  Combined with gentle vibration, these textured paddles stimulate new collagen and fibroblast growth.  The increase in collagen growth has the potential for lasting effects of improved skin appearance, although additional treatments are beneficial.

Other benefits of Vibradermabrasion include a reduction in fine lines and wrinkles, diminished pore size, reversing excessive dermal dryness or oiliness, uniformity in skin coloration, and treatment for acne and acne scarring.



Microdermabrasion


Microdermabrasion is a valuable skin care procedure for many complexion problems when
used alone, or in combination with other treatments. It is a non-surgical exfoliating procedure, done individually or in a series for revitalizing and maintaining the skin's 'glow and smoothness'. 

A precise stream of very fine crystals is directed through the Skinscape Unit handpiece onto the skin to loosen the layer of dead skin cells that form on the surface.  It then suctions away both the skin debris and the crystals to reveal underlying fresh invigorated new skin within the lower epidermis.  This is why there is minimal discomfort and virtually no recuperation. 

In select cases, however, a more aggressive abrasion may be chosen with appropriate aftercare which requires the skills and knowledge of a dermatologist.  Patients often comment on how relaxing the procedure is and are pleased to notice some of the following improvements:
  
 - improved dull or uneven skin color 
 - relieving clogged pores and blackheads 
 - softening general roughness or thickened patches of dead skin
 - refining the appearance of fine, crepey lines and large pores
 - removing surface debris to allow better absorption of topical medications  

Side effects are minimal and almost everyone could benefit from microdermabrasion. Those who have an active inflammatory skin condition may need to postpone treatment until the underlying skin problem is controlled.
