Treatment is delivered using an electro-mechanical device such as the Parisian Peel Medical Microdermabrasion System that gently abrades the skin surface using chemically inert micro-crystals and air suction. The clinician uses a handpiece to direct a stream of crystals and mild suction exactly where needed on the patient's skin. The gentle abrasive action of the crystals combines with the suction to exfoliate the epidermis while uncovering the smooth underlayer to promote a thicker, healthier dermis.

Simplicity makes microdermabrasion both safe and economical to use as an alternative or adjunct to laser skin resurfacing and chemical peels. Treatment can be administered in 15 to 20 minutes by the trained physician or other trained clinical staff such as the aesthetician or surgical skin care specialist.

Patients require no anesthesia, experience no "down time" and can return immediately to their daily activities. Physicians are reporting optimal results after 5 - 8 treatments, depending on the patient's skin type and condition. Microdermabrasion works equally effectively on all Fitzpatrick Skin Types and can be administered as often as indicated without fear of side effects.
