If you are a looking for a quick and effective way to refresh your appearance, consider a microdermabrasion treatment. This tried-and-true procedure continues to be an excellent way to revive a dull complexion and minimize the appearance of minor skin imperfections. The procedure is one of the most popular at Leber Skin & Laser Center, due to its ability to attain positive results without pain or downtime.

The Exfoliation Advantage

Exfoliation treatments work by removing the outermost dead skin layers to reveal softer, smoother skin underneath. The removal of outer skin cells also allows for topical solutions to penetrate the skin more effectively so they can provide the greatest possible results. Exfoliation depths vary from procedure to procedure, with superficial exfoliation offering subtle lightening and radiance without discomfort or downtime. Deeper exfoliation produces more dramatic, long-lasting results, but involves significant recovery time in some cases.

Microdermabrasion falls into the superficial exfoliation category. This procedure uses a small tool to remove the outermost dead skin layer. At Leber Skin & Laser Center, we perform microdermabrasion using the DiamondTome Skin Resurfacing System, is a crystal-free approach to microdermabrasion.

Dr. Leber and his staff will provide you with a complimentary consultation prior to your treatment to listen to your specific concerns and aesthetic goals.
