Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic technique used to remove the superficial layers of dead and damaged skin through exfoliation while leaving the skin looking far healthier and radiant. The treatments also improve the collagen production by increasing the blood flow to the damaged skin areas.
Dr. Lad Rubaum, Director of the Laser Image Company in Redondo Beach, stated that “These procedures have eliminated the fine lines caused by the aging process while addressing the problems of shallow acne, acne scars, uneven skin tones, enlarged pores and even stretch marks. These treatments can also prevent new pimples from forming.”
How to Achieve the Best Results
The objective of any non invasive cosmetic treatment is to get the laser energy and the medical products active ingredients to the specific layers of the damaged skin to promote the most effective change. A pre-treatment evaluation and procedure with Microdermabrasion removes any barriers and the dead cells, allowing the chemical peel or laser treatment to saturate and penetrate the damaged area of the skin.
As successful as the individual Microdermabrasion treatments are on their own Dr. Rubaum continued, “a combination of Microdermabrasion sessions followed by a chemical peel or laser treatment (Laser Genesis) will increase the procedures effectiveness and significantly improve and enhance the results.”
If a patient has a problem with brown spots caused by sun exposure, Microdermabrasion, combined with a chemical peel or Photofacial laser treatment, can increase results by as much as 50%. After the dead skin cells are removed, the use of home care cosmeceuticals will also improve the skin and increase the outcome considerably.
Importance of a Specialized Treatment Plan
A specific treatment regimen is designed for each patient based on their skin type, skin condition and objectives to be attained. The Microdermabrasion treatments administered by the Laser Image Company are carefully monitored by a nurse or aesthetician who is familiar with your skin and past results. The laser treatments are gradually introduced to a patient’s skin, taking into account the comfort and reactions from previous sessions.
For a minimal cost, Microdermabrasion, as a pre-treatment for laser or chemical peel, is a more effective way to keep your skin looking its best.
