Dr. Vivian Chin offers another method of providing smoother, softer skin known as Microdermabrasion.
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical procedure that allows you to rejuvenate and revitalize your skin in less than an hour with no down-time. Microdermabrasion, and specifically the SilkPeel Dermalinfusion system used by Dr. Chin, addresses a large variety of skin conditions and concerns, and is suitable for all skin types. Microdermabrasion has virtually no restrictions on treating any area of the body, including the face and décolletage, hips and thighs, back and shoulders, underarms, and hands, feet, knees and elbows.
What problems does Microdermabrasion treat?
This procedure is commonly utilized and results are seen for both men and women with:
- Moderate acne scarring and/or some facial scars, hyperpigmentation, and melasma
- Dry skin
- Stretch marks
- Cellulite
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Keratosis pilaris on arms and legs
- The effects of sun damage
How does Microdermabrasion work?
The microdermabrasion procedure uses either a diamond-tipped hand piece or a fine mist of crystals to mechanically exfoliate and smooth your skin. The combination of the fine abrasive action is coupled with a vacuum suction to remove the dead outer layer of skin. This brings the new, softer skin with a more even texture to the surface. Because microdermabrasion is so precise, the procedure is virtually pain-free and tolerated by most sensitive skin types and for all skin colors.
Dr. Chin uses the SilkPeel Diamond Dermalinfusion technology, which has instant and cumulative results. Skin shows immediate and noticeable improvement in volume, hydration, tone and texture. The SilkPeel offers multiple benefits, including:
- Exfoliation of the dry, dead skin cells that result in a dull, sallow complexion.
- Infusion of professional-strength serums, developed to address specific skin conditions.
- Detoxifying lymphatic drainage – a type of gentle massage intended to encourage the natural drainage of the lymph, which carries waste products away from tissues.
- Deep pore cleansing due to vacuum pressure that flushes pores with condition-specific pro-infusion solutions, removing dirt and debris.
Condition-specific pro-infusion solutions include:
- Lumixyl ® Pro-Infusion Solution: features the revolutionary Lumixyl peptide, which is non-toxic and instantly brightens skin while significantly improving uneven pigmentation, sun damage, hyperpigmentation and melasma.
- ClarityMD ® Pore Clarifying Pro-Infusion Solution delivers salicylic acid and a botanical complex which promotes clear, calm skin. This formula addresses the major causes of acne – bacterial infection, clogged pores, and excess oil production – while soothing redness and swelling and fighting post-inflammatory hyperpigmention.
- The Skin Hydrating Pro-Infusion Solution uses hyaluronic acid to re-hydrate chronically dehydrated skin. This solution moisturizes, plumps skin, and reduces the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
- The Vitamin C Skin Hydrating Pro-Infusion Solution helps correct the effects of environmental damage by revitalizing dull, tired skin. Skin is brightened immediately and the targeted ingredients help ward off long-term UV damage.
