Rosacea is a prolonged inflammation of facial skin characterized by redness, prominent blood vessels, swelling, and/or skin flare-ups that look similar to acne. Microdermabrasion can be used to decrease the redness associated with rosacea. However, if you have been diagnosed with rosacea and are considering microdermabrasion, please consult with a dermatologist or skin specialist as microdermabrasion may have a negative result.

Rosacea is a chronic inflammation of facial skin characterized by redness, prominent blood vessels, swelling, and/or skin eruptions that look similar to acne. Microdermabrasion can be used to decrease the redness associated with rosacea. However, if you have been diagnosed with rosacea and are considering microdermabrasion, you should consult a dermatologist or cosmetic surgeon prior to treatment because microdermabrasion can negatively affect active rosacea.

During a microdermabrasion treatment, your expert will direct a stream of tiny (‘micro’) aluminum oxide crystals through a handpiece that is placed against the skin. These crystals exfoliate the skin, and the mild pressure created by the microdermabrasion system eliminates the skin debris and crystals.

Microdermabrasion helps make thicker, healthier skin layers; multiple treatments are vital because they encourage the creation of a new layer of skin cells that contains higher levels of collagen and elastin. Both of these constituents are essential for vibrant, young-looking and healthy skin, and they will further improve your complexion and the overall appearance of your skin.

In order to reap the full benefits of microdermabrasion, between five to twelve treatments spaced two to three weeks apart are usually recommended. It is convenient and almost painless so there is no downtime. The procedure takes only 30 to 60 minutes so can easily be done over the lunch hour.
