Microdermabrasion is a treatment that is offered at OC MedDerm. This is a well-studied treatment that provides a method of unplugging acne pores with a handheld medical device.
It uses a unique technique to scrub the skin with a crystal or diamond tip, which is followed by suctioning tiny clogged pores with a vacuum device.
Microdermabrasion can be used intermittently and in conjunction with other acne treatments to speed up skin improvement. Microdermabrasion can also stimulate collagen formation within the skin, provide skin rejuvenation, and improve discoloration after multiple treatments. If performed properly and at correct intervals, microdermabrasion can improve the appearance of superficial acne scars over time.
Facials are often recommended to be performed along with microdermabrasion for more extensive acne and acne scar treatment. Microdermabrasion and certain facials (under the supervision of our physicians) are safe procedures during pregnancy and are often utilized in order to avoid prescription drugs.
Microdermabrasion should be avoided if the skin has inflamed, red, swollen, pus-filled, or tender lesions.
