Microdermabrasion in Chico, Ca. exfoliates the superficial layers of skin. It makes your complexion smoother, softer, and more healthy looking. Some devices infuse solutions as they exfoliate your skin. As an acne treatment, microdermabrasion is an effective complimentary tool for treating non-inflamed acne (blackheads & whiteheads) as well as mild acne scarring. But, to see noticeable results, it needs done as a series, and to see even better results microderm is used in combination with professional skin peels. This procedure can be done at a day spa, med spa, acne treatment clinic, or physician's office at varying depths depending on who is performing your microderm.
Dermabrasion exfoliates too, but at a deeper level. Although the devices vary, generally a spinning disk sands off your skin - down to the live layers. At one time, dermabrasion was the gold standard for fine lines, wrinkles, scar revision, and acne scar treatment. But, with laser and stem cell technology, there are more effective methods for treating severe acne scarring. Following the treatment, your skin scabs over. The immediate downtime is approximately a week, while the skin may remain red for up to 3 months.
