Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin exfoliation treatment designed to remove the outer layer of dead skin cells and improve the appearance of skin texture. At CFH, your skin is assessed before we recommend whether microdermabrasion is appropriate for you.
Skin can look dull, uneven or rough when the surface isn't as smooth and refreshed as you'd like. Microdermabrasion may be considered as part of a skincare approach focused on improving the appearance of the skin's surface and texture.
Healthy-looking skin starts with understanding what your skin actually needs.
Possible factors may include:
The visible concern is only part of the picture. Understanding your skin comes first.
Depending on your concern, another approach such as a chemical peel, HydraFacial or another skin treatment may be more appropriate.
The right skin treatment starts with understanding what's happening, not simply treating what we can see.
Assess your skin concern, its appearance and the areas you want to improve.
Consider your skin history, characteristics, previous treatments and goals.
Recommend an appropriate treatment based on your assessment.
Evaluate how your skin responds and guide the next step.
Making the right decision is just as important as getting the right treatment.

The best treatment isn't the one with the most features. It's the one that makes sense for your skin.
Your skin may look like it needs a simple exfoliation treatment. But the right approach depends on why you're experiencing the concern in the first place.
