Can all areas of the body be treated and does skin colour make a difference? All areas of the body can be treated but it should be emphasized that resurfacing techniques work best on facial skin. All types of skin colour can be treated except dark skinned Afro-Caribbean. What is the difference between microdermabrasion, chemical peels and laser skin resurfacing? The advantage of medical microdermabrasion is low risk and rapid results compared to traditional resurfacing techniques such as dermabrasion, chemical peels and laser resurfacing. This fact is both its advantage and its limitation. Microdermabrasion results in rapid healing and little risk due to very superficial epidermal injury, hence only shallow scars and fine lines can be addressed. It is not effective for deep wrinkles and scars because these lesions extend into the deeper dermis. Patients with these problems are best treated with more aggressive techniques such as laser resurfacing. Is microdermabrasion safe? There is no evidence to suggest whatsoever that treatment can lead to skin disorders or increased risk of skin cancer. Book your FREE skin consultation now. Call 604-800-7911 or 604-496-5114 |

treatments are based on the principles of wound healing. By wounding and
removing the uppermost layers of the skin in a controlled manner, cell renewal
is stimulated with regeneration of a healthier epidermis and dermis.
Histological evaluation of facial skin after repeated microdermabrasion treatments
demonstrates a reparative wound-healing process with regeneration of a
compacted stratum corneum and a smoother epidermis. Skin hydration increases
with improved epidermal barrier function, and fibroblast stimulation increases
dermal thickness through production of new collagen and elastin.
