Microdermabrasion in Miami, FL
Vibradermabrasion (Microdermabrasion Alternative):
Microdermabrasion is a painless, no down-time, clinically tested method of producing more radiant, vibrant, and youthful-looking skin. Scientific studies show it improves skin tone and texture by effectively exfoliating old cells and stimulating the growth of new collagen. Vibraderm technology employs a patented vibrating surface that removes layers of damaged dead skin cells.
Another unique application is the use of the Vibraderm’s patented Infusion Paddle, which allows deep penetration of therapeutic and rejuvenation products into the skin. Treatment is painless and many patients describe it as feeling pleasant and relaxing. Vibradermabrasion is completely noninvasive with no down time. Since vibradermabrasion is gentle and gradual, multiple treatments are needed to achieve the best results. We recommend a series of 6 treatments spaced 1 – 2 weeks apart. More may be necessary for some conditions. Results are cumulative. For the best long-term results, we recommend monthly treatments after your initial series is complete.
Facials:
A facial cleans, exfoliates and nourishes the skin to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. It is sometimes called a “deep-cleansing facial” or “deep-pore cleansing” facial because of extractions. A facial can offer many benefits. The face is always subject to the elements such as the sun, maybe smoke or an improper at home regime. Facials offer you the opportunity to work with a professional skin care specialist who will analyze your skin, help you improve your complexion and show you how to take proper care of your skin.
A facial can give you a deep cleansing, deeper than the cleansing you will get at home. A facial includes cleansing, steam, as well as exfoliation, which can help to unclog your pores. Extracting open comedones will also help rid the skin of acne. A skin care specialist or esthetician will choose the ingredients to help your skin type.
The esthetician may choose a mask to detoxify your skin or hydrate your skin. By getting a proper analysis you will not only learn your skin type, but an esthetician will be able to create a facial experience that addresses your skin’s needs. A facial helps increase circulation and stimulates the skin. Facials are great for both men and women, and a facial is a great introduction to skin care for a teenager.
Homecare Products
Aging of the skin is a chronic natural phenomenon. A single peel can reverse some of the clinical and histological signs of aging, but once the skin has healed from the peel, the aging process starts again.
Therefore, a daily program of specifically designed products that reverse the signs of aging is necessary to maintain long-term improvement. We recommend a simple routine for home use that will enhance your results and compliment your office routine. To achieve optimum results, we recommend following the homecare regimen suggested by your skincare specialist.

Is microdermabrasion or chemical peel better?
Microdermabrasion and chemical peel are treatments used to improve the appearance of the skin, eliminate wrinkles, fine lines, acne spots, and sun damage. Though these two treatments are used to enhance the appearance of the skin, the procedures are different and the results are also quite different.
Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-invasive treatment that affects only the epidermis (outer layer of the skin). It involves the use of a handheld device to strip away the outer layer of the skin. This treatment removes or improves conditions of the outer skin layers. It helps to improve the appearance of brown spots, sun-damaged skin, hyperpigmentation, stretch marks, wrinkles and fine lines.
Chemical peel is a more invasive treatment that affects not only the outer layers of the skin but the middle and deep layers of the skin. Chemical peels improve conditions and impurities deep within the layers of the skin. Chemical peels include light, mild, and deep chemical peels. Light and mild chemical peels affect the top and middle skin layers while deep chemical peel treatment affects deep layers of the skin.
Chemical peel treatments peel off the surface or outer layer of the skin to provide smoother and younger skin. Chemical peel treatment is used to improve the overall appearance of the skin by providing a smoother and younger-looking skin.
If you only want to improve the appearance of your skin and make it look younger, you may go with chemical peel but if you have skin conditions such as blackheads, enlarged pores, acne scars, or other outer skin conditions, microdermabrasion is a better choice for you.
