About Microdermabrasion
Patients looking to rejuvenate and refresh their complexion can benefit from a microdermabrasion treatment. Offered by board-certified plastic surgeon Dr. G. Robert Meger and his skilled team, a microdermabrasion uses small crystals to buff away dead skin cells and unclog the pores. Our plastic surgeon recommends this minimally invasive treatment to his Phoenix, AZ patients who are experiencing dull or tired-looking skin, as this procedure is a great way to refresh the appearance and add youthfulness back into the face. Interested candidates can schedule a consultation at G. Robert Meger, M.D. P.C. to start their treatment.
Best Candidates
The best candidates for microdermabrasion:
- Have skin concerns, such as fine lines and wrinkles, aged skin, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, minor scars, and uneven skin tone and texture
- Desire better-looking, more radiant skin
- Do not want an invasive surgical procedure
- Have realistic outcomes
What to Expect
The patient’s face will be thoroughly cleaned prior to the procedure. A stream of fine particles will be sprayed onto the patient’s face to essentially polish the skin through a special handpiece. In the process, dead skin cells and other debris will be suctioned away by the microderm system. Microdermabrasion also stimulates the skin’s production of collagen and elastin, which play a role in skin firmness. Treatment can take 30 – 60 minutes to complete.
Anticipated Results
There’s no downtime with microdermabrasion, but the skin will look pink and also feel dry and tight for about 1 day after treatment. Moisturizer should be applied to alleviate these side effects. There will be visible results right after a microdermabrasion treatment, where patients should experience smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin. For full results, 5 – 12 treatments are recommended every 2 – 3 weeks.
