Microdermabrasion

Dr. Weksberg Servicing Toronto and the GTA, services are for Canadian citizens only.

Microdermabrasion is one the most popular non-surgical aesthetic procedures in Toronto. It is a non-invasive, mild procedure used to gently exfoliate the skin. At The Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology, Microdermabrasion is a safe and simple procedure in which a device forces a stream of air through a tube to which fine micro crystals are added. These crystals are delivered across the skin resulting in polishing effect of the skin's surface. These crystals and dead skin cells are then vacuumed away in one easy motion.

Microdermabrasion at The Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology is often combined with other services such as Photorejuvenation and Chemical Peels in order to create a more rejuvenated and enhanced look.

What can I expect after my treatment ?

Immediately following this procedure your skin will have a fresh pink glow. Your skin will likely be sensitive to the touch and to sun exposure. You skin might also feel tight.
Improvement continues throughout your treatment program and you will see a more even toned complexion and a smoother skin surface.

Although the skin may be sensitive, you can resume regular activates immediately following your Microdermabrasion treatment. Your medical aesthetician will likely recommend skincare products to assist in recovery.

It is important that you do not exfoliate the treated area for 5 days following the procedure. It is also required that you use a good Sun Block (or wear protective clothing) and are gentle when cleansing. It is common to experience some flaking following your Microdermabrasion treatment, however not everyone experiences this.

How many treatments will I require ?

The number of treatments required and time between treatments varies on each individual. Most patients need one treatment every two weeks for a total of six treatments. Maintenance treatments are typically scheduled 3 to 4 time per year following a full series. Patients will notice considerable improvement in the smoothness and colour of their skin.
