Microdermabrasion Las Vegas

Microdermabrasion is a popular skin rejuvenation treatment that’s been used for years to achieve a brighter complexion and reduce common skin concerns. Unlike many alternatives, there are no lasers, incisions, or heat. As simple and convenient as the treatment is, microdermabrasion also yields remarkable results. 

WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive cosmetic procedure that exfoliates the outer layer of skin, helping to improve its texture and appearance. It involves using an innovative device to gently sand away dead skin cells, leaving the skin looking smoother and more radiant. At Stile Aesthetics, we often use microdermabrasion to treat fine lines, acne scars, and sun damage.

HOW DOES MICRODERMABRASION WORK?

During a microdermabrasion treatment, your provider will exfoliate the outermost layer of skin with a spray of tiny, abrasive crystals. This process loosens dead skin cells, which are then removed by the device’s vacuum suction. This helps unclog pores and improve circulation, resulting in a smoother, fresher complexion. Additionally, the gentle abrasion triggers a healing response, promoting collagen production within the skin.

HOW EFFECTIVE IS MICRODERMABRASION? 

With a series of several treatments, patients enjoy noticeably smoother, brighter skin after microdermabrasion. We typically recommend five or more treatments every two to three weeks until you achieve your desired results.

By removing damaged skin cells from the surface, microdermabrasion effectively reveals fresh, healthy skin to improve your complexion. It also increases collagen production for long-term benefits that improve skin tone and texture. Collagen keeps your skin firm and smooth, so treatments like microdermabrasion that increase collagen can have numerous benefits. 

Microdermabrasion has a 96% “worth it” rating among patients, making it an undeniably successful treatment option. Our patients at Stile Aesthetics love the glowing complexion they see after microdermabrasion!

WHAT CAN MICRODERMABRASION TREAT?

By gently removing damage on the surface and prompting collagen production, microdermabrasion can improve your skin’s health and appearance in many ways. Some of the skin concerns microdermabrasion can treat include:

  • Hyperpigmentation and dark spots
  • Fine lines and wrinkles
  • Enlarged pores
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Uneven skin tone and texture
  • Dull skin
  • Sun damage

IS THERE DOWNTIME AFTER MICRODERMABRASION?

Unlike many skin rejuvenation treatments, microdermabrasion is uniquely gentle and pain-free. There is no downtime after microdermabrasion and minimal side effects. Your skin may be slightly dry and red for a day or two, but this subsides quickly and can be alleviated with a moisturizer.

AM I A GOOD CANDIDATE FOR MICRODERMABRASION?

Microdermabrasion is an effective skin rejuvenation treatment for almost anyone. It’s safe for all skin types and tones. If you’re looking for a convenient treatment to revive your complexion without downtime, schedule a consultation at Stile Aesthetics to learn more about microdermabrasion!
