The Patient's Guide to Microdermabrasion

The Patient's Guide® provides information about exfoliation, rejuvenation and skin care. Our mission is to provide readers with information about the applications of dermabrasion. The information published on this website is written and provided by some of America's foremost dermatologists and skin care experts. Information provided by individuals or physicians should be considered opinion and cannot replace the advice of and consultation with your physician.

Physician-Supervised Treatment

The goal of the Patient's Guide to Microdermabrasion is to provide quality information, as well as a list of physicians who offering the procedure. In recent years there has been a proliferation of clinics and medispa providers offering treatment, many with mixed results. The best option is, and always has been, to consult with a physician with experience and knowledge of proper skin care. These professionals are the most likely to give you the range of options available to you and help you form a treatment course which will give you results you can be satisfied with.

Microdermabrasion - Smoother Skin, Fast

This cosmetic "lunchtime" facial procedure is so popular for aging skin that people often forget to research it beforehand. Like other spa procedures such as chemical peels or surgery options, it's important to understand the different methods, as well as the limitations of the procedure. Some procedures involve diamond paddles or abrasive particulates to freshen the skin. It's a good way to improve the freshness of skin, improve some sun damage, and remove superficial dead skin cells, but for deeper wrinkles or scarring, it has limitations. The key is to find a provider with a variety of treatments.
