Rejuvenate Your Skin with Microdermabrasion

Rejuvenate Your Skin with Microdermabrasion

Even the healthiest of the skin may not always look its best due to aging, acne scars, and sun exposure. If you wish to rejuvenate your face to have a younger, brighter look, talk to your dermatologist at Dawson Dermatology in Honolulu, HI. Drs. Douglas Chun, Kevin Dawson, and Sarah Grekin offer the latest in medical and aesthetic dermatology. Microdermabrasion is one of their easiest and most effective services.

Just what is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a medically-supervised aesthetic treatment that exfoliates the skin on the neck and face. The gentle procedure employs a mildly abrasive cream and a small handheld tool to remove the top layer of skin, revealing smoother, more evenly pigmented, and brighter skin beneath. Microdermabrasion promotes skin cell growth as well.

Your dermatologist at Dawson Dermatology in Honolulu, HI, recommends microdermabrasion for healthy men and women who wish to reduce the appearance of:

  • Fine lines and creases
  • Areas of hyperpigmentation (melasma) on the cheeks and neck
  • Acne scars (Microdermabrasion is not advisable for active acne.)
  • Age spots
  • Dullness

Microdermabrasion also removes excess oil, dead skin cells, and whiteheads/blackheads.

The American Academy of Dermatology reports that people of all skin textures may undergo this in-office procedure successfully. There is no appreciable downtime, and you may see only slight redness and puffiness afterward. Also, as it heals, your skin may feel more sensitive to the sun.

Is microdermabrasion permanent?

No, it is not permanent, but the treatment yields significant results. However, one treatment is insufficient and results do not last indefinitely. Most people have several weekly treatments, and likely, your dermatologist will ask you to use a moisturizer before and between your treatments at Dawson Dermatology. Sunscreen lotion of SPF 15 or high is a must-have on a continuing basis. Microdermabrasion may be just part of a comprehensive skin makeover.
