To wear away small amount of skin - is precisely what MegaPeel technology does. The process of cell renewal (exfoliation) is a natural process that slows with age and our environment. Even removal of the superficial dead cells thickens the epidermis and increases the production of collagen and elastin. All skin types can be treated with this technology as well as male and female patients can benefit.

Microdermabrasion was first developed in Europe many years ago and has been an acceptable skin treatment procedure in the United States for a few years. Aluminum oxide crystals are projected onto the skin in a safe and uniform manner to painlessly exfoliate layer of the epidermis. These crystals, along with dead skin cells, are vacuumed into a closed filter container and discarded. A control gauge allow for increased vacuum for a more aggressive peel and decrease vacuum for a more gentle peel.

Microdermabrasion leaves your skin smooth and clean with mild erythema. Blackheads are loosened, whiteheads become unsurfaced, hyperpigmentation lightens and acne scars, enlarged pores and epidermal wrinkles become less prominent. Blood, containing oxygen and nutrients, is drawn to the surface to feed and repair cells.

The process of microdermabrasion should be approached in a series of at least five peels in order to get a lasting effect. The patient will be treated every week or every two weeks depending on the aggressiveness of the peel. A proper skin care program with microdermabrasion is imperative for long lasting improvement in the skin.

A customized plan will be set up for each patient. This will include a sampling of either a hydrating, clarifying, anti-aging or skin lightening routine depending on individual skin type, to compliment the microdermabrasion treatments.
