Microdermabrasion in Houston
With a series of customized microdermabrasion treatments, you can achieve more beautiful skin without pain and irritation. It is now possible to significantly improve the appearance of your skin with no downtime. Minimize wrinkles, scars, sun damage and active acne without the pain and recuperative time of other cosmetic treatments.
Houston Facial Plastic Surgeon Dr. Leo Lapuerta and his highly trained, professional staff want to help you regain your youthful appearance and fresh face. In addition to surgeries such as face lifts and brow lifts for deeper wrinkles, we also offer a variety of non-invasive procedures that work to reduce wrinkles and smooth skin surfaces. One of our most popular offerings is microdermabrasion, which works by removing the outer, dead layers of the skin to unveil the younger, fresher skin that resides below.
Our experienced staff performs microdermabrasion via the use of a small, spinning device that resembles a miniature sandblaster. On the face of the machine are extremely tiny crystals which provide gentle abrasion and exfoliation to the skin. The microdermabrasion tool also features a suction device to remove the dead cells and stimulate the skin.
People often initially seek out microdermabrasion for its wrinkle-reduction ability; however, they quickly find it improves every area of the face, even those that do not have wrinkles present. The fresh skin below not only contains fewer wrinkles and fine lines but it is also smoother, fresher, and more radiant. Microdermabrasion is also used to correct pigment problems such as age and sun spots, making it one of the best ways to turn your skin into your best feature.
For best results, repeated microdermabrasion treatments are recommended with the ideal treatment time ranging from five to 12 visits. It’s generally wise to spread the treatments roughly two to three weeks apart in order to give the skin time to rejuvenate in between visits. Since the microdermabrasion procedure takes only half an hour to an hour, it can easily be done as a lunch hour visit. We’re happy to discuss this non-invasive and highly effective treatment with you to see if it’s right for your specific needs.
