Leave the years and all that sun behind. It’s time to treat your skin to Bella, the gentle approach to skin renewal. The Bella procedure smoothes and freshens your skin, the way the French have enjoyed for years.

Microdermabrasion is a safe, non-invasive procedure for resurfacing the skin using a directed beam of crystals.  Known as the "lunch-time peel", this exciting new procedure can be used to treat fine lines, acne, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, and scars in under an hour, with no recovery time!

In less than an hour with no recovery time, this non-invasive, painless procedure abrades and renews the skin's surface treating:
 

Microdermabrasion is the most effective, non-invasive skin resurfacing process available.  Using a specially designed handpiece, a spray of crystals is directed onto the skin at a high velocity and then immediately vacuumed away, resulting in the removal of the top layer of the strateum corneum.  The fresh skin just below the surface is then exposed, creating a glowing new complexion.  Patients may return to normal activity immediately, unlike the more invasive chemical peels or laser procedures.

Microdermabrasion can be effective in reducing the appearance of:

Results will be noticeable from the first treatment, however a full treatment protocol is 5 - 8 treatments with one treatment every 10 -14 days and maintenance visits every 2 - 3 months thereafter.

Advantages of Microdermabrasion over acid methods of exfoliation:

• Immediate visible results due to the vacuum action on the skin causing an edema type of swelling of the dermis, which diminishes the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles (stretches the skin and makes it tighter).
• The vacuum action also increases blood flow into the dermis, which increases fibroblast activity, which in turn causes an increase in collagen and elastin formation over a short period of time.
• Abrasion of the strateum corneum removes keratin cells and the mortar layer between the cells, which will allow for more topical serum penetration of nutrients into the dermis.  This in turn will help in the formation of a new stratem corneum layer to the skin.
• Microdermabrasion does not exhibit any of the bum characteristics associated with acid peels and there is no appreciable downtime.

One treatment is equivalent to 3 30% consecutive glycolic acid peels or 1 70% glycolic acid peel.
