Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive gentle abrasion (skin polishing) treatment that creates a buffing action on the surface of the skin to reveal newer, healthier younger looking skin. With healthier skin as its base, many conditions begin to heal themselves. Treatments have been performed in Europe for years and found to be safe and effective for use on the face, neck and chest of all skin types, male/female. A trained technician who has received training in skin care, the procedure and has the endorsement of The Medical Cosmetic Center of Olathe Medical Director will perform the treatment.

The surface layer of skin collects harmful environmental elements. By aggressively, uniformly removing this layer of dead, impacted cells the surface is refined and smoothed. The micro-massage action of the treatment stimulates blood flow and oxygen which in turn nourishes the skin and fortifies new cell growth. This increased lymph flow beneath the surface provides cleansing and balancing benefits, which directly relate to clearing many acne problems.
