About Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a common, noninvasive skin rejuvenating technique. By using micro-granules that create gentle abrasions on the skin's surface, the existing layer is broken down and exfoliated. This results in boosted collagen and the revelation and regrowth of new layers of skin, allowing the existing blemishes and skin irregularities to be reduced. WESTMED Group offers this effective procedure for patients who wish to improve their appearance from acne, scarring, wrinkles, discoloration, or other skin issues. Microdermabrasion can help present clearer, more even skin.

Best Candidates
Good candidates for microdermabrasion may exhibit:
- Rough, dry patches of skin
- Uneven texture and tone
- Wrinkles and fine lines
- Hyperpigmentation spots
- Mild acne scars
What to Expect
Most patients consider their microdermabrasion treatment to be relaxing and feel pampered with little to no discomfort. Our technician will prepare the skin first with a cleanser and a cooling solution. Using a hand-held buffer, the skin will be polished with granules to safely remove the outer layer of the skin. This will eliminate the damaged visible cells, for smoother lines and less discoloration.
Other Considerations
After the microdermabrasion session, the patient should avoid unprotected sun exposure. After 24 hours, normal makeup can be worn again without any problems or skin agitation. The face may appear to be red, but you will not need to plan on any recovery time. Our aesthetic technician will be able to answer any aftercare questions a patient may have about this treatment. Microdermabrasion can also be combined with other noninvasive treatments such as injectables for greater improvements.
