Microdermabrasion & Diamond Peel in 535 Miller Ave
Mill Valley, CA 94941
Microdermabrasion is a pain-free exfoliating treatment that gently removes the outer layer of dull, dead skin to reveal fresher, smoother skin underneath. At Aesthetic Dermatology And Skin Cancer, Inc., our aestheticians offer the Diamond Peel and Derma Peel microdermabrasion treatments, which take less than an hour and let you return to work immediately.
How the Diamond Peel Works
The Diamond Peel uses a hollow wand tipped with diamond crystals. When a gentle vacuum is applied through the tube, the skin is drawn up against the diamond surface and lightly abraded as the wand moves across the skin. The vacuum also lifts away the exfoliated cells and helps stimulate circulation.
The Derma Peel
The Derma Peel is another form of microdermabrasion that uses a vacuum system to move microscopic abrasive crystals across the skin’s surface, lightly polishing away the outer layer for smoother texture.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
- Smoother, softer skin texture
- Brighter, more even skin tone
- Reduced appearance of fine lines and enlarged pores
- Improved appearance of mild sun damage and dull, uneven pigmentation
- Better absorption of skin care products
Treatment Schedule and Results
Microdermabrasion is usually repeated every two weeks for an initial period of about three months. With each successive exfoliation, younger skin moves to the surface, often producing significant improvements in texture and color. Maintenance treatments help keep your skin looking its best. Microdermabrasion pairs well with glycolic acid peels, medical facials, and our other skin care spa treatments. View results in our Diamond Peel before and after gallery.
