Medical grade microdermabrasion is another advanced cosmetic tool we have to help uncover vibrant, more youthful looking skin, while reducing scars and pores. Usually performed on the face, chest, back, neck, arms or even hands, microdermabrasion is a cost-effective alternative to chemical peels and/or plastic surgery.
Your skin has two main layers: the dermis beneath (actively growing) and the epidermis on top (dead skin cells). The topmost layer of the epidermis is called the stratum corneum, and it acts as a protective barrier for the lower skin layers. It blocks out everything but a few small molecules, so that when we apply creams and lotion to our skin, only a small portion of moisture and active ingredients are absorbed. Home to minor skin imperfections such as blemishes and fine wrinkle lines, the stratum corneum layer is where microdermabrasion takes place.
We use state-of-the-art FDA approved medical-grade equipment and technology to spray fine crystals through a controlled jet nozzle to exfoliate the desired area of skin. The technology controls the tiny crystals with precision, removing the stratum corneum layer and leaving smooth, healthier skin. Once the stratum corneum layer has been removed, your body gets a signal that a mild injury has occurred, and rushes to replace the lost skin cells. The result is the rapid growth of healthier skin cells that look and feel smoother. The treatment usually takes less than an hour, and often, you see improvement immediately (although the desired results may take more than one treatment).
Microdermabrasion removes many of the skin’s visible imperfections, like blemishes, sun damage, and fine lines. Also, with the stratum corneum gone, your skin can better absorb moisture into the lower layers of the skin, so medicinal creams and lotions with active ingredients are now more effective in replenishing skin moisture and elasticity.
Studies suggest that repeated microdermabrasion treatment at regular intervals may influence the way the lower layers of skin grow as well, removing deeper blemishes over time. Evidence indicates that the rapid loss of skin moisture may be what triggers the lower skin layers to work overtime in speeding healthy cells up to the surface. Since microdermabrasion removes only the most superficial layer of skin, there is no hyper-pigmentation and it is considered safe for all skin types.

Dr. Ellison, I wanted to thank you for how great my face looks. Thank you so much for your generosity. You are a true artist and I am such a willing canvas. You are very talented! You were very gentle and I experienced very little pain. The swelling took little time to diminish and I had minimal bruising. My friends already noticed that I "look different". It was such a subtle change that they could see something but only thought I looked better...that is what I strive for and I know you shared my vision. You knew just what I needed.
... Read MoreThank you Embody Staff for your care and support you gave to me during my procedure. I am thrilled with my results and I have received numerous compliments!
... Read MoreMy experience at Embody was amazing! I had SmartLipo™ done on my upper/lower abdominal areas, as well as my flanks. Before I had my procedure the Dr. Contractor went above and beyond to make sure I understood everything that was going to take place. Dr. Contractor was always readily available to answer questions as they came up; and has been in close contact with me through out my experience. The day of the procedure went smoothly and I was kept comfortable at all times. The pain I thought I might feel never came. The best way to describe the most intense parts of the procedure would only be mild discomfort. I have had more uncomfortable dental procedures! All in all, I would definitely recommend this procedure to my family and friends because I was able to make a quick recovery and I am yielding great results. I was able to see results after one week! From Dr Contractor's experienced, professional, and caring demeanor to the staff's forethought in determining my every need, I was and continue to be in great hands. Many thanks to the wonderful team at Embody!
... Read MoreGreat facility with fantastic staff. There was a flat screen television in every room and anything I asked for I received. The doctor talked to me the entire time to make sure I was as pain free as possible.
... Read MoreI chose the laser liposuction because of the skin tightening that comes along with it and the small amount of down time involved. I have had a small amount of fat on my lower abdomen since about the age of 13. I am now a 29 year old male and no matter what diet or exercise or weight loss pill I tried I could not get that little bit of fat to go away. The fluid injection was the most uncomfortable part of the procedure. I never felt the incisions. When I was finished they sat me up and I looked down to find that problem area gone!
... Read MoreWhat a satisfying experience! At Embody, Dr. Sinnathamby and staff were committed to my care, comfort and results from the first time I met them. The staff was friendly and professional. The consultation was in depth, explaining all the details of the procedure. I knew I was making the right choice. I was awake during the entire procedure. I had very minimal discomfort but no pain. Dr. Sinnathamby talked to me throughout the procedure to make sure I was comfortable. I had the procedure on a Friday. Then, on Saturday, I coached my son's baseball game and mowed the lawn. On Monday, I returned to work with no complaints. The results were immediate. And now, six weeks out, I continue to see the difference. I not only look better but feel great too! I have finally gotten rid of the belly fat and love handles that I was not able to with diet and exercise. Smartlipo™ is definitely the answer. I have already recommended this state-of-the-art facility to my colleagues and friends.
