Summer is here — are you taking care of your skin? Summer is the number one time of the year for playing outdoors, but unfortunately, it’s also the number one season for skin damage. With time, even the most precarious of sunscreen-users will see damage to their skin due to the effects of UV lights, stress, decreased collagen production, and even just gravity. While some people may be blessed with naturally beautiful skin, most of us have one or more skin issues that keep us from feeling our best. It can be hard to be confident if you suffer from problems like hyperpigmentation, crow’s feet, or acne scarring. Luckily, Pacifico Plastic Surgery can help you reach your healthy skin goals with microdermabrasion.

If you’ve been shying away from plastic surgery due to a fear of needles and pain, microdermabrasion is the procedure for you. It’s a non-invasive, non-surgical procedure performed by a qualified plastic surgeon. Using a machine designed to “spray” microcrystals, microdermabrasion provides deep exfoliation, removing the outermost layer of dead skin cells and improving cell turnover. The procedure also provides a gentle massage-like stimulation, which increases the production of collagen and elastin. The result is healthier, younger looking skin.

Candidates for microdermabrasion are patients with fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, clogged pores, or acne scarring. Because it is not a surgical procedure, it will be most beneficial for patients with shallow, superficial lines and light acne scarring; patients with deeper sun damage would benefit more from dermabrasion, a more intensive treatment that can have more drastic effects on wrinkles and scarring.

Pacifico Plastic Surgery is all about helping you restore your confidence. We can help you improve your skin’s health and appearance through a variety of procedures, both surgical and non-invasive. Call us today and take the next step towards a happier and more beautiful you.
