This was another hot Texas summer, and not many people were sad to see it go. Now that the cooler temperatures are here, it’s time to focus on the upcoming holidays and the party season in Lewisville and beyond! This month we’re going to talk about two treatments that’ll get you ready to look younger for all of those office parties, get-togethers with friends, and big family dinners.
The first is skin rejuvenation by way of thousands of tiny crystals — microdermabrasion. Although Dr. Lipton is known for his surgical skills, he also offers various non-surgical treatments in our med spa. Microdermabrasion is a popular, easy to take treatment for improving skin tone, texture, and pigmentation.
How microdermabrasion works
Microdermabrasion is very effective and very easy to take, with no downtime. It’s non-invasive and non-surgical. Here’s how it works. Microdermabrasion uses thousands of aluminum oxide or sodium chloride crystals to exfoliate the skin surface. The crystals are sprayed onto the skin through a wand that also suctions back the crystals and any dead skin that has been removed. The degree of exfoliation is determined by the amount of suction used, along with the number of passes made over an area.
For long-term rejuvenation, we recommend anywhere from five to 12 microdermabrasion sessions to enhance skin hydration, sebum production, and texture. Appointments are spaced two to three weeks apart to allow the skin to recover. But for your upcoming parties, microdermabrasion is a great way to have smooth, glowing skin in just a single session. It basically is a forced exfoliation without any downtime. How sweet is that?
What microdermabrasion is good for
Microdermabrasion is effective when used for certain skin conditions:
- Dull skin
- Dilated pores
- Oily skin
- Solar lentigines
- Melasma
- Thick skin
- Mild, shallow acne scarring
- Variable skin texture
OK, the first step to get ready for the party season is a call to Dr. Lipton’s to book your microdermabrasion session. It’s painless, doesn’t require recovery, and really improves your skin. Call us at (972) 420-0023 to make your appointment.
