What machine is used for Medical MIcrodermabrasion Enhanced?

The Microdermabrasion machine used at Summit Plastic Surgery and Med Spa is the precision diamond peel machine by Pristine. The machine gently removes and vacuums away dead skin cells from the epidermal layer, while also treating sun damage, skin congestion, acne and scarring, hyperpigmentation, aging, and oily or dull skin. It helps to minimize the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, enlarged pores, blemishes, blackheads and whiteheads.
The machine combines polishing action of laser cut diamonds with a fully adjustable vacuum, to stimulate blood flow and help reach inside the skin crevices. There are 10 different tips of varying size and coarseness for a wider treatment range. Each tip is sterilized after each treatment, as well.
There are several additions to the microdermabrasion treatment to ensure the best possible result. If you are interested in the medical microdermabrasion enhanced treatment or any other skin care at Lee's Summit's Summit Plastic Surgery & Med Spa, please contact Keri Eichhorn, licensed esthetician with questions or to schedule a complimentary consultation.

What is Medical Microdermabrasion Enhanced?

Medical Microdermabrasion Enhanced is a mechanical and chemical 3 step exfoliation treatment. The skin renews about every 28 days and when we age the process slows down and dead skin cells can build up giving a dull look to the skin. The 3 step exfoliation of the medical microdermabrasion enhanced can speed up the cell turnover for healthier, younger looking skin. The procedure is performed by Kansas City skin care specialist Keri Eichhorn.
While this is more of a medical style treatment, it is performed with your comfort in mind. With some dimmed lights and soft music in the medical spa of Lee's Summit's Summit Plastic Surgery and MedSpa, the procedure starts with a relaxing cleansing and pre-exfoliation process with steam, this is then followed by the microdermabrasion, which is done with the Precision Diamond Peel microdermabrasion machine. Following this part of the procedure there is a low grade chemical peel done, this will range in strength and how long it is applied, depending on the number of treatments already done and the specific skin. There is then an Oxymist treatment done on the skin, followed by the appropriate masque, moisturizer and sunblock. Free mineral makeup make-over is optional- allow an addition 15-20 minutes.
This is a treatment that almost anyone can have. This is good for both dry and oily skin, as the products used with help with the specific complaints. The treatment takes about 30 minutes and is recommended to be done every 2 weeks when starting out for the first 4, the monthly for maintenance to keep the skin healthy. There are packages available and scheduling is usually booked out about 7-10 days. Please contact our office if you would like to set up a complimentary skin care consultation with Keri Eichhorn, licensed esthetician.
