Cleanse and Renew Your Skin With Microdermabrasion in St. Louis

If your skin has become dull or damaged from aging or exposure to the elements, it may be a good time to perform a thorough exfoliation with a treatment called microdermabrasion. This painless, non-invasive treatment can thoroughly exfoliate your skin and effectively treat various cosmetic skin issues. At R Medical Spa, our skin rejuvenation specialists offer this treatment in our comfortable, relaxing medical spa environment.

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a clinical exfoliation technique that quickly improves the appearance of your skin with a handheld vacuum device. Microdermabrasion gently exfoliates the skin by using a light abrasion to remove surface skin cells.

By buffing away dead skin cells, your skin is left feeling and looking radiant.

Microdermabrasion can be used to treat all of the following skin issues:

  • Mild acne
  • Uneven skin texture
  • Enlarged pores
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Mild sun damage
  • Dull complexion
  • Age spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles

What to Expect During Your Microdermabrasion Treatment in St. Louis

After a quick consultation with one of our skincare specialists at R Medical Spa, your microdermabrasion treatment will be a quick, easy procedure. During the treatment, which only takes about 30 minutes, your skin care aesthetician will use a special handheld device to gently sand away the damaged outer layer of your skin.

As soon as the treatment is finished, you should be able to head home or return to work immediately. You may experience some mild skin redness and soreness after the treatment, but these symptoms should only last for a day or two. No recovery time is required after microdermabrasion.

Who Is a Good Candidate for Microdermabrasion Treatment?

Adults who are looking to exfoliate their facial skin and achieve a healthier, more youthful complexion could be good candidates for microdermabrasion. The treatment can be an excellent option for individuals experiencing skin issues such as age spots, uneven skin tone, clogged pores, mild acne, mild sun damage, and many others. That said, microdermabrasion isn’t necessarily right for everyone.

To be an ideal candidate for microdermabrasion, it’s essential that you meet the following criteria:

  • Be in generally good health
  • Be free of severe acne or undiagnosed lesions
  • Have no active skin infections near the treatment area
