Initially called the lunchtime peel, this non-invasive procedure is a favorite our cosmetic patients. Dr Farris uses the Diamontone, a crystal free microdermabrading system that can take dull lifeless skin and make it radiant! Using a gentle abrading technique we can improve skin texture, surface roughness, skin discolorations and fine lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion can also be used to improve the appearance of scarring including acne scars. Dr Farris usually recommends a series of five microdermabrasions to be performed every 2-3 weeks. After the series is complete, most patients maintain their results by having a microdermabrasion every 6-8 weeks. This procedure is often used in conjunction with chemical peels and other topical anti-defying treatments.
