Microdermabrasion

Years of exposure to harsh elements - especially sunlight - and the natural aging process, can make skin look dull, blotchy, and lifeless. Acne scars, heredity, blemishes, and other factors can also make skin look sallow and aged. During the microdermabrasion treatment that is performed in our Seattle office, these and other imperfections are gently buffed away, revealing your healthiest, smoothest, most beautiful facial skin.

The microdermabrasion treatment utilizes sterile, sand-like crystals to remove toxins, impurities, blemishes, imperfections, and dry, scaly skin. The procedure is relatively simple and has virtually no side effects. The treatment itself takes only about 30 minutes. Dr. Heffernan will use a hand piece that emits the sterile crystals onto the skin, using the crystals to buffer away dead cells. For ideal results, multiple treatment sessions two to three weeks apart are suggested.

Microdermabrasion has become one of the most popular non-surgical treatments due to its efficacy and simplicity. In addition to having no real side effects, microdermabrasion is effective on all shades of skin, requires no recovery time, can be used on skin that is otherwise sensitive to chemicals, and does not require the use of any anesthetic. When performed by our highly qualified practitioners, microdermabrasion can provide patients with healthier, brighter, or even glowing skin.
