Microdermabrasion in Kelowna

Microdermabrasion is a universally loved, safe exfoliating procedure used to remove dead surface layers of skin (stratum corneum), especially in the treatment of Acne.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Using a DiamondTome Wand, Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips. The dead cells lift away and are instantly vacuumed up for a clean, simple treatment.  

What Conditions Does Microdermabrasion Treat?

  • Acne
  • Aging Skin
  • Dry Skin

What is the Procedure?

At Kelowna Vein Clinic the average Microdermabrasion appointment is 30 minutes. The treated skin is washed and cleaned in preparation for the procedure, which is then administered to the problem area for the completed removal of dead skin cells.

What is the Recovery Time?

Immediate.  Patients can return to their regular activities immediately. Patients are advised to avoid excessive sun exposure immediately following the treatment and maintain healthy skin moisture as an important part of the recovery process.

What Are the Expected Results?

The common results of Microdermabrasion are softer and smoother skin, the improvement of problem skin conditions, and the stimulated growth of new skin cells. For maintained results patients should schedule regular treatments ever 4-6 weeks.
