Microdermabrasion in the South Hills of Pittsburgh
Looking for the best microdermabrasion in Bethel Park or the South Hills? It’s a quick and low-cost way to achieve your skin care goals. Looking to get your “glow” back? Microdermabrasion is basically a mechanical exfoliation and skin rejuvenation procedure that leaves skin looking softer and brighter.
Microdermabrasion works by removing the uppermost layer of dead skin cells from the face and is one of the easiest and most effective anti-aging treatments you can treat yourself to. It works on all skin types and colors including sensitive skin.
Is Diamond Tip Microdermabrasion expensive?
We offer some of the lowest prices around on microdermabrasion in Bethel Park and the Pittsburgh area. Our microdermabrasion treatments are performed by licensed Estheticians with many years of experience. At Allegheny Physical Medicine, we use the newer diamond-tip professional grade microdermabrasion machine. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion uses the same vacuum technology and hand-held wand as crystal microdermabrasion, but there aren’t any crystals moving through the tip. The diamond tip itself exfoliates the skin and the vacuum whisks the dead skin away. Diamond-tip microdermabrasion achieves the same results as traditional crystal microdermabrasion without feeling uncomfortable.
It is a better option for sensitive skin. A series of 4 to 5 microdermabrasion treatments about 14 days apart is recommended to achieve the best results. It takes about 30 minutes and there’s no down-time for the skin to recover. For more info on the benefits of LED light therapy, read here. Microdermabrasion is sometimes called a “lunchtime peel.” Just be sure to be gentle with your skin for a few days after the microdermabrasion treatment: don’t expose your skin to the sun or use abrasives on your facial skin. Make sure to wear a gentle physical sunscreen, even on cloudy days.
There are many offices offering microdermabrasion in Bethel Park. Please check out the credentials of the technician performing microdermabrasion.
