Red Deer Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive cosmetic procedure that uses a special handheld applicator with an abrasive surface to gently exfoliate away the thick outer layer of the skin, ultimately renewing overall skin tone and texture. Innovation Dermatology offers patients a choice between the “Aqua” or “diamond tip” dermabrasion procedure.

Microdermabrasion can target a variety of skin issues, including:

• Whiteheads and blackheads
• Blemishes
• Oily and congested skin
• Aging skin
• Uneven skin tone and texture
• Enlarged pores
• Fine lines and wrinkles
• Acne and acne scars
• Sun damage
• Hyperpigmentation
• Stretch marks

For more dramatic results, this treatment can be used alone or in conjunction with Botox and Fillers or a Chemical Peel.

A microdermabrasion treatment involves your specialist spraying or rubbing a fine crystal onto the skin with a wand that gently exfoliates the skin surface, removing the top layer of skin. This will help stimulate healthy cell, collagen, and elastin production while removing dead and flaking skin cells. It is a relaxing, comfortable, and painless treatment, with no downtime. It usually takes between 30-40 minutes for the face, and 20 minutes for the neck. You may experience some redness afterwards for less than an hour.

Treatments can be performed weekly, every two weeks, or monthly, depending on your skin type and your skin goals.
