Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a gentle, non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment available at Enhancements Facial Plastic Surgery in Bethlehem Township, PA. Using the advanced Dermaglow system, Dr. Scott Sackman can dramatically improve your complexion in just a few short treatments, erasing fine lines, acne scars, and age spots.

The procedure is typically painless and requires no anesthesia. Depending upon the extent of your problem and the depth of treatment required, your skin will appear pink, like a sunburn, for minutes to hours afterward. In most cases, Enhancements Mineral Makeup, formulated to be safe after treatments, can be applied immediately.

The key advantage of microdermabrasion over traditional dermabrasion is precision. Using this gentler technology, surgeons can remove as little as one or two layers of skin cells for a very gradual improvement, allowing you to immediately return to your normal activities. Traditional dermabrasion removed eight to ten layers of skin cells, leaving the skin unsightly for days afterward.

Microdermabrasion gives you the option to decide just how quickly or slowly you want your complexion to improve. More aggressive treatments produce faster results with more redness, while gentler approaches allow less recovery time.

Deep scars, from acne or from injury, are tremendously improved using dermabrasion. Treatment of deeper scars must be done more aggressively to achieve substantial improvement with each session. Milder treatments will work too, but it can take a year or more of repeated treatments to achieve significant improvement of deeper scars.

Patients from Easton, Bethlehem PA, and the Lehigh Valley choose Enhancements for microdermabrasion because of our advanced Dermaglow technology and Dr. Sackman’s expertise as a board-certified facial plastic surgeon.
