Close your eyes and imagine if you were to look in the mirror and see a younger version of yourself, one with brighter, more even skin. If you knew there was a non-invasive way to get skin you’re proud to show off, would you try it? Forget the over-the-counter cosmetic products that claim to make you look younger. Head to Dr. Arsenault’s office for microdermabrasion, fast-working outpatient treatment that makes a huge difference in your appearance.
Microdermabrasion and What It Treats
Remove the outermost, damaged layer of skin and you encourage collagen production in the skin beneath. Microdermabrasion uses soothing exfoliation and polishing to whisk the dead skin cells away. It also clears up pores, making it an effective technique for fighting acne. Removing that outer layer and rebuilding the amount of collagen in your skin is a way to treat:
- Lines and wrinkles on your face, neck and other areas of your body;
- Scarring, particularly acne scars;
- Sunspots and other dark pigmentation;
- Recurring acne, particularly blackheads and whiteheads.
After a microdermabrasion session, your skin will immediately look brighter and more even in tone. Come back every few months or weeks for another session for that “fresh-faced” look to tackle any more damage that’s occurred in your skin.
The Difference Between Dermabrasion and Microdermabrasion
Dermabrasion may sound familiar to you, but Dr. Arsenault may instead recommend microdermabrasion. The micro version of the procedure is even less invasive, usually doesn’t require any local anesthetic and removes the very outermost layer of skin. The dermabrasion procedure goes down a little further into the epidermis and requires slightly more recovery time. Both offer instantaneous results, but microdermabrasion produces less redness afterward and poses less risk of scarring.
Electing to Undergo Microdermabrasion in Florida
The Florida sun has its advantages, but premature wrinkles from tanning and UV ray exposure isn’t one of them. Neither are sunspots and uneven skin tone. Luckily, if you’re located near Lakewood Ranch and Bradenton, an appointment with Dr. Arsenault for microdermabrasion on a regular basis will help you stay ahead of the negative side effects of living in the Florida sun.
Schedule an appointment with Dr. Arsenault in person at one of her office locations or via video consultation with her teledermatology services. Teledermatology is convenient when you’re on the go or you can’t find a way to make time for an initial meeting; afterward, your actual microdermabrasion appointment can take place at either location.
