Microdermabrasion Indianapolis Indiana

Indianapolis, Indiana, microdermabrasion expert Kimberly Short, M.D., a board-certified plastic surgeon, says that procedure was the third most popular noninvasive cosmetic procedure in the United States during 2005, with over 800,000 people undergoing microdermabrasion.

Thus, patients opting for skin care in Indianapolis, Indiana, and elsewhere say they ask for the microdermabrasion procedure when they want to:

• Reduce find facial lines
• Fade discolored facial skin
• Brighten their complexions

Lunchtime Peel

Microdermabrasion, a quick, non-invasive procedure used to resurface the skin, is sometimes called a "lunchtime peel" because you can have it on your lunch hour and go back to work with only a slightly pink skin that fades in a few hours. The technology uses very fine crystals to exfoliate and gently resurface the skin. That promotes the formation of newer, smoother, clearer skin to replace the marred layer of facial and neck skin taken off.

Removes Damaged Skin

Microdermabrasion itself is quick and simple. Protective goggles are placed over your eyes and the skin is cleansed. Then, Dr. Short removes in fifteen minutes to half an hour the surface skin using a delicate, handheld device much like a dentist's polishing instrument. Tiny crystals are sprayed onto the skin and suctioned back up into the machine, along with any ablated, or, surgically removed skin. The doctor can vary the pressure to control the amount of penetration, or pass over an area several times to remove the most damaged skin.

Dr. Short trained with top plastic surgery experts in the U.S. and France, learning cutting-edge skincare and laser hair removal techniques, including use of state-of-the-art lasers. She believes the use of lasers has perhaps been the most substantial contribution to plastic surgery in recent years. Consequently, Dr. Short offers her patients a surgeon's hands with a feminine touch.
