Microdermabrasion is one of the most popular treatments for skin rejuvenation today. Designed to lessen the appearance of acne and fine lines, it is also effective at treating scars, age spots, large pores, sun damage and wrinkles. While not the most effective treatment for some of these conditions, it has the advantage of being quick, incredibly safe, and very effective in the short-range, with no involved "downtime."

"pretty disappointed. was told microdermabrasion would remove some wrinkles around my eyes and mouth. had first treatment a week ago and lines look the same to me. my skin does feel smoother, but the wrinkles were my main issue. Clinic recommended I have at least 1-2 more treatments to make sure, but if no results after that I won't be having microderm again. " - Submitted by Heather S. of Waterbury, CT |
