Microdermabrasion

Effects of Heredity and Time
We were all born with smooth, baby soft skin. As we go through life our skin becomes a road map showing the effects of where we have been and what we have been and what we have done. Even if we have taken care of our skin, many of us area affected by child hood and adolescent diseases while heredity and gravity always take their toll.

Exposure to the sun, use of alcohol, smoking, and nutrition all accelerate the signs of aging. Moles, warts, keratoses, scars from disease or facial trauma may further affect our skin and may even affect the way we perceive ourselves.

What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a revolutionary new skin restoration process, commonly referred to as "the lunch time peel" because the procedure takes only minutes to perform and most people can return to work immediately!

How does it work?
Microdermabrasion uses highly controlled vacuum and pressure to move microscopically abrasive crystals over the surface of the skin. This action causes little or no discomfort while it gently removes the outer layer of the skin. By repeating this process over the course of several weeks or months, the younger, softer skin moves to the surface, revealing significant textural and color changes.

Ask Dr. Pilest to determine if you are a candidate for Microdermabrasion. Since every individual is unique and has special needs, a personal consultation will be necessary. Together, you and Dr. Pilest will determine the number and regularity of treatments best for you. This procedure can be done on any type of skin, and on any area of the body.

There are a wide range of procedures that improve the skin. SilkPeel Dermal Infusion is a dual effect treatment which combines microdermabrasion with active tipical solutions. These solutions for acne, dehydration and pigmentation are "pushed" into the skin immediately after the dead surface skin is removed with a diamond tip.

SmoothPeel can be considered as almost a "laser microdermabrasion". Particularly effective on the crepey skin around the eyes, SmoothPeel quickly and easily significantly improves skin surface in one treatment at maximum penetration or several treatments if you wish to have least downtime.

Fraxel is the new gold standard procedure for acne scars and melasma. Fractional technology untilizes microdot laser to deeply affect scars and "replane" the skin surface.
