Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin exfoliation treatment designed to improve skin texture, reduce imperfections, and enhance radiance. At Summerlin Dermatology, we offer this procedure to effectively remove dead skin cells, unclog pores, and stimulate collagen production, revealing smoother, brighter, and more youthful-looking skin.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand or fine crystals to gently sand away the outermost layer of dead skin. The process:

Exfoliates to remove dry, dull skin buildup.
Stimulates circulation to promote collagen and elastin production.
Enhances product absorption for better skincare benefits.

This quick, 30-minute treatment is painless and requires no downtime, making it an excellent choice for individuals with busy schedules.
