If you are 35+, you are in your prime! 40 is now the new 30… You have managed to survive the single jungle, found love, raised a family, and perhaps even successfully climbed to the top of the corporate ladder. Unfortunately, your successes are written all over your face. You know what I mean… uneven skin tone, fine lines, and maybe even wrinkles.

Don’t sweat it! There is a breakthrough in anti-aging treatment that will whip your skin back into shape; helping you look 5-10 years younger with just a few treatments that are quick, painless and relatively affordable. I am talking about microdermabrasion!

While there are skin refinishing products available in your local drug store, most are not effective at all. Professional microdermabrasion, performed by a licensed esthetician or plastic surgery center, is an amazing solution to reverse and control the effects of aging and expose your true beauty.

Microdermabrasion (which is often spelled micro dermabrasion or microderm-abrasion) is a non-invasive epidermal treatment that works to get rid of the top dead layer of dry and damaged skin cells, revealing healthy skin that is hiding just below the surface. During treatment, the deeper dermal layer of skin is stimulated to increase collagen production, which prevents future wrinkles and fine lines.

So what is Microdermabrasion anyways?

Quite simply, microdermabrasion is a gentle treatment that is extremely successful in resurfacing skin and reducing fine lines, wrinkles and pore size. Microdermabrasion improves the texture and luminosity of the skin. The whole treatment takes 30 to 45 minutes and aside from some minor redness or temporary blotchiness (depending on the sensitivity of your skin) there is no down time.

Treatments cost about $150 per treatment, with the average person requiring treatment weekly for 5-8 weeks. Research has proven that professional microdermabrasion treatment will yield more lasting and immediate results than any at-home treatment system.

Age does have its privileges but it does not mean you can’t have your cake and eat it too! Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective treatment for aging skin and offers renewed self-confidence and a fresher, more vibrant you!
