When you look at your face in the mirror, do you sometimes wish you could just wave a wand over your skin and remove some of the imperfections—the fine lines, the age spots, the blackheads and enlarged pores, the superficial acne scarring? Well, microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic skin procedure that acts much like that magic wand. It removes the dead cells on the outermost layer (the stratum corneum) of the skin. What emerges is a smoother, more evenly textured new top layer of skin—one that appears younger, more vibrant.
There are two basic methods of microdermabrasion. One lightly “sands” the skin with tiny crystal particulates; the other gently scrapes off the dead cells with rotating paddles. These methods are being constantly refined to make them even more effective. Your doctor can discuss with you which method would be most appropriate for your individual skin type and skin problem. Call today for a personal consultation.

Dr. Derick is wonderful. My daughter has severe eczema and I went to Dr. Derick after numerous dissapointing, unsuccesful visits to her pediatrican (& others), and a bad flare up of my daughters eczema. We arrived to a very clean, impressive office, with very polite and professional staff. We were taken into a room where a nurse evaluated my daughter. It did take a while for Dr. Derick to finally get to our room, but once she came in, I was very pleased with the outcome. She was very detailed in her explanation of eczema, and explained more about it than any other doctor had that I met with. She diagnosed my daughter (confirming eczema), and suggested ways in which I could reduce the eczema. Again, at the time of my visit, my daughter had a severe flare up and we didn't know what to do anymore...we were at our wit's end. She gave us a few Rx's, gave us very detailed instructions & "tricks", and by the next day, my daughter's flare up was significantly decreased. I am so pleased with her, and when necessary, I will continue to go back.
