Our complexion is a central focal point whenever we greet someone, smile, or begin a conversation. Yet, unfortunately, it can also be a primary source of concern when our skin reflects blemishes, sun damage, or the first signs of aging.
Microdermabrasion is a treatment that uses a device to exfoliate the dead skin cells from the face's surface. It works by rotating a specially designed device on your face as it gently sandblasts the skin with tiny crystals. The treatment improves the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, and acne scars to make the skin look brighter and more radiant.
Microdermabrasion consists of a series of treatments, each session spaced about a week apart. Most people need between six and twelve treatments to see optimal results. The treatments are relatively short, taking only about 30 minutes each. Microdermabrasion is also gentle and takes very little time, making it popular for today's busy lifestyle.
Another cosmetic treatment option at Eternal Beauty is chemical peels of varying strengths. A chemical peel is a skin-resurfacing procedure in which a chemical solution is applied to the skin to remove the top layers. It can help improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scars, and sun damage.
Chemical peels come in three levels:
The number of sessions needed will depend on the depth of the peel and the desired results. For example, superficial peels may only require one or two treatments, while deeper peels may require six to eight. In our office, Dr. Vaghar customizes chemical peel treatments based on your skin needs, and we often treat acne and acne scars with Microderm/Chemical five-session peel packages.
Good candidates for chemical peels are generally healthy adults with mild to moderate skin concerns. However, those with darker skin tones may be at risk for post-inflammatory hyperpigmentation, so it is essential to consult a board-certified dermatologist before treatment.
