Question: Is microdermabrasion effective for treating fine lines and wrinkles?
Answer: Microdermabrasion can definitely be used as part of a treatment plan that will improve fine lines and wrinkles. I highly recommend that patients consider regular microdermabrasions as part of their treatment regimen for their facial skin, even if we have performed some relatively aggressive surgical or laser type procedures in the past. The microdermabrasion helps rid the skin of its dead layer called the stratum corneum, this allows for a brighter, fresher look to the skin and also allows for our pharmaceutical strength skin care products to penetrate better and ultimately give them healthier, more vibrant skin.
