Dermatology has been utilizing the Derma Peel procedure (also known as Micro-Dermabrasion.) for several years. A pressurized hand-held wand delivers a fine mist of aluminum oxide crystals. These micro-crystals act as a mild abrasive agent to remove the outer layer of skin cells without significant irritation or damage to the skin’s integrity. The procedure takes only 30 to 40 minutes and requires no down time. Derma Peel is recommended for patients who are seeking to improve the look and texture of their sun-damaged skin. It may even diminish superficial age spots, fine wrinkles as well as improve acne. For optimal results, several treatments are suggested.
