Microdermabrasion (see also Skin Rejuvenation)

If you would like to dramatically improve the look and texture of your skin in as little as ten minutes, without downtime, then microdermabrasion with Vibraderm™ is for you. Microdermabrasion is now the third leading cosmetic procedure used to improve common skin concerns such as age spots, scars, dull and leathery skin, fine line and wrinkles, and excessive dryness or oiliness. It is an excellent and easy way to significantly improve the skin's appearance without the risks, expense, and inconvenience of surgery.

Have you been considering microdermabrasion, but are unsure whether it's such a great idea to leave behind crystal deposits on your beautiful new skin? If so, then we have a brand-new, safe and amazing alternative for you and it is called Vibraderm™ microdermabrasion. Rather than removing dead, dull skin by using ablative crystals-which, when left behind, can potentially embed into the skin's top layers, Vibraderm™ using vibration without crystals to achieve the same amazing results. Vibraderm™ leaves you with beautiful, smoother and more youthful skin, and without any of the potential problems caused by crystal microdermabrasion.

Some commonly asked questions

What is the difference between microdermabrasion and Vibraderm™?

At Physicians Skin Institute, we are proud to offer microdermabrasion with Vibraderm™. Vibraderm™ is a new, state of the art technology that has taken a wonderful cosmetic procedure, microdermabrasion, and made it even better. Traditional microdermabrasion uses fine crystals to exfoliate the epidermis, while a small vacuum tube sweeps up the crystals and sloughed-off skin. Vibraderm™, however, does not use any crystals or particulates and instead implements a patented, vibrating paddle that is capable of covering the entire face, neck and décolleté areas, and can even be done during your lunch hour! Vibraderm™ also stimulates collagen-elastin production and increases circulation for healthy skin. With VibradermT, there is no residue left on the skin, less redness, no side effects and no discomfort.

How long does the treatment take?

Each microdermabrasion with Vibraderm™ treatment takes less than thirty minutes and can be repeated, depending on the client's skin type and condition.

Is it safe?

Yes. Microdermabrasion is a safe way to rejuvenate skin without the risks, costs and inconveniences of surgery. It has gained popularity in the United States over the past ten years.

How soon will I see results?

Because microdermabrasion with Vibraderm™ pulls oxygen into the skin and stimulates the growth of collagen, many clients notice smoother, softer skin after even the first treatment. The number of treatments required truly depends on the client's skin type and condition.

Can I combine Microdermabrasion with other procedures?

Absolutely. Microdermabrasion with Vibraderm™ is an ideal accompaniment to many of the procedures offered by Physicians Skin Institute, including BotoxÒ Phoenix, collagen injections, Photo Facial™ and laser therapies. Please feel free to discuss your desired results with one of our licensed aesthetician or certified laser technicians.
