Microdermabrasion

Conveniently located to serve Newark and New Castle, DE

 

Table of Contents


 

Are you noticing dull skin, uneven texture, or lingering sun spots? Microdermabrasion offers a quick, non-invasive refresh, gently exfoliating the outer layer to reveal smoother, brighter, healthier-looking skin. It’s a simple way to revive your glow without needles or downtime. You can get it in Newark and New Castle County, DE, at Mehdi Balakhani MD. 

What Is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin damaged by the sun and the effects of aging. Dr. Mehdi Balakhani uses a device similar to a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, combining gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead outer layer of skin. As with other skin rejuvenation techniques, multiple treatments may be required to reduce or eliminate fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation.

Microdermabrasion removes dead skin cells, encouraging collagen production and supporting your skin’s natural renewal cycle. It’s a form of non-invasive skin resurfacing that helps improve tone and texture over time and can be safely repeated at regular intervals for lasting results.

Who Is the Ideal Candidate?

Ideal candidates for microdermabrasion are those who:

  • Have uneven skin tone or texture
  • Experience dullness, mild acne scars, or age spots
  • Prefer a non-invasive skin exfoliation option with minimal downtime
  • Are looking for anti-aging facial treatments to soften fine lines

Microdermabrasion may not be right for you if you:

  • Have active acne or rosacea flare-ups
  • Are prone to skin sensitivities or irritation
  • Have open wounds, eczema, or certain skin infections

A thorough microdermabrasion consultation is essential to determine whether this treatment suits your skin type and concerns.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion

  • Brighter, smoother skin immediately after treatment
  • Improved appearance of fine lines, dark spots, and minor acne scars
  • Painless and non-invasive with no recovery time
  • Enhances the absorption of skin care products
  • Complements other facial rejuvenation procedures like chemical peels or Botox injections

The Microdermabrasion Experience

Your microdermabrasion appointment typically takes 30-60 minutes. After cleansing your skin, Dr. Balakhani’s trained staff uses a precise exfoliating device to treat targeted areas of your face. You may feel a mild scratching sensation, but it’s generally well-tolerated. A hydrating mask or serum may follow to soothe and protect your skin.

Dear Dr. Balakhani,

I wanted to write a note of thanks to all of you for being so wonderful during the surgery process. I love the change in my body already, and can’t wait to see the final results in a few months. I’m so excited to wear the clothes I never would have looked good in before, especially bathing suits!
