Microdermabrasion
Redwood Aesthetic Medicine provides the very best in Microdermabrasion skin resurfacing techniques.
Microdermabrasion is mechanical exfoliation that removes the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face, chest and hands. It leaves skin with a fresher, more glowing look, and diminishes sun damage, fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, and coarse textured skin.
It makes it easy for high-tech skin care products to actually penetrate into the deeper layers of the skin and help build collagen, which gives skin its youthful appearance.
Microdermabrasion is also known as particle resurfacing, power peel, derma-peel or Parisian peel. It takes about 20-30 minutes and there's no down-time for the skin to recover. That's why it's also sometimes called a "lunchtime peel."
Microdermabrasion uses a powerful device to spray microcrystals of aluminum dioxide (corundum powder) across the skin’s surface. The aluminum dioxide is a very fine, very hard, sand-like material that blasts away the uppermost layer of dead skin cells on the skin's epidermis.
Dr. Chen combines microdermabrasion with the powerful technique of medical chemical peels to achieve an even more satisfying result that is not available at spas or salons.
