Microdermabrasion explained

Microdermabrasion is a specialized treatment for stimulating the body’s natural healing process to improve the appearance of the skin. This procedure is done with a device that uses tiny needles to puncture the upper layers of the skin to stimulate the production of collagen and elastin. This procedure is often performed on the facial area where imperfections are the most noticeable.

Is microdermabrasion safe for darker complexions?

Yes! At Dr. W Dermatology, we only focus on providing safe and effective treatments for our patients, including those with higher melanin content. We encourage individuals to ask about the advantages of using this and many other services in our office to enhance their natural appearance and address the most common imperfections of the skin, and on skin of all ethnicities.

Who is a candidate for microdermabrasion?

Anyone dealing with the imperfections listed above are considered appropriate candidates for microdermabrasion. During the initial consultation appointment and evaluation, Dr. Seymour Weaver will assess the patient’s skin and determine if this is the best way to meet their needs. In other situations, the dermatologist may make suggestions of alternative solutions, including cosmetic injectables or laser therapies. Each patient is unique and will benefit from treatments designed just for their skin type.
