Chemical Peels and Microdermabrasion for University Place / Tacoma, Auburn, Puyallup
One of the best ways to rejuvenate your appearance is with a chemical peel or microdermabrasion treatment (also known as a Parisian peel). These procedures are designed to remove old, worn layers of facial skin, exposing the healthier layers beneath. Uneven skin pigment, blemishes, wrinkles, and other facial skin imperfections can be treated with a chemical peel or microdermabrasion. At Cascade Eye & Skin Centers, P.C., University Place / Tacoma, Auburn, and Puyallup dermatology offices, chemical peels and microdermabrasion are popular facial rejuvenation procedures.
Microdermabrasion
The microdermabrasion procedure involves gently abrading the skin with fine crystals (similar to grains of sand) and vacuuming up the crystals with a finely controlled instrument. These crystals remove dead skin cells, exposing healthier, fresher skin layers beneath. Additionally, microdermabrasion promotes collagen formation, further improving the skin's appearance.
Microdermabrasion is comfortable for the patient, and can be completed in 15 to 30 minutes. After treatment, the skin may appear flushed or rosy, but this will fade within a day. Proper cleansing and moisturization after microdermabrasion are crucial steps that help return the skin to normal. Additionally, it is important to avoid
Retin-A®
and alpha hydroxy acid products for a few days after treatment while the skin recovers.
Microdermabrasion is a safe, effective and convenient noninvasive treatment offered for patients from Cascade's University Place / Tacoma, Auburn, Gig Harbor and Puyallup-area dermatology offices.
