APPOINTMENT

Dr. Kennett will be accepting appointments for Microdermabrasion treatments soon! 

PROCEDURE

First we cleanse the skin and remove any oil, dirt or makeup, which may cause an irregular contact pattern of the chemical with your skin. You can expect to feel heat during the procedure.  Some patients use the words: “prickly, hot, stingy”

RECOVERY TIME

The amount of downtime can vary from none to ten days depending on the depth of the peel. Superficial peels will have you glowing and ready for your event that same day, whereas a deeper therapeutic peel will show visible redness up to four days post peel, with peeling of skin occurring from day 4-10 post peel.

FOLLOW UP

For deeper peels: A follow up peel should be repeated no sooner than 4 weeks post peel 
For superficial peels: A follow up peel can be scheduled after two weeks should you wish to achieve deeper results.  
Skin Location of peel:
Face: Skin turns over every 21-28 days; this turnover rate lengthens as we age; also note that the healing process slows as we age.
