Microderm Plus

Deeper Exfoliation to Improve Skin Tone and Texture

Microderm Plus is a more advanced cosmetic skin care treatment that is more intense than traditional treatments. It is used to deeply exfoliate old, dead, dull, and dry areas of skin to reveal healthy, younger looking skin beneath. At Maloney Plastic Surgery, we may recommend this prodecure to improve your skin tone and texture, stimulate collagen production, and enhance the performance of skin serums and products.

What is Microderm Plus and when is it recommended?

What is Microderm Plus?

Microderm Plus is a four-step professional-grade exfoliation skin treatment that combines micropeel and microdermabrasion techniques. It reduces the appearance of dull, dry skin and reduces pore size to leave your face soft, smooth, radiant, and more youthful.

Why Consider Microderm Plus?

Microderm Plus offers enhanced exfoliation when compared to traditional dermabrasion. It uses stronger suction and more abrasive crystals to exfoliate the skin. You can also incorporate a wide variety of skin products like serums, which will address additional skin concerns. It is used as part of maintenance skincare routine to enhance the appearance and texture of the skin and address acute or chronic skin concerns. It is appropriate for all skin types, including darker skin tones. This treatment uses the mildest form of our chemical solution, so it does not bleach the skin.

Complementary and Alternative Cosmetic Treatments

We offer a wide range of nonsurgical cosmetic treatments that can be used in addition to or as an alternative to this procedure. You can undergo traditional services to see if it is a better choice for you. You might also consider a chemthis procedure are:

Many patients see improvements in the tone, texture, and color of treated areas when performed in a series of treatments.

Complications are extremely rare, but could include skin infections, cold sores, allergic reactions, undesirable color changes and scarring.

What to Expect at Your Consultation with Dr. Maloney

At a consultation for Microderm Plus, one of our experienced skin care specialists will discuss your skincare goals, your current skincare regimen, and your current skin issues to determine if a series of procedures is right for you. We may use Vectra 3D imaging to view any sun damage, broken capillaries, and other concerns. The results will serve as a baseline. After completing a series of treatments and following a home skincare regimen, we can evaluate improvements in the quality of your skin.

How is Microderm Plus Performed?

This cosmetic treatment begins with dermaplaning, a manual exfoliation technique that safely and efficiently removes dead cells from the surface of the skin. Next, you will undergo a microdermabrasion treatment using the DiamondTome Crystal Free Skin Resurfacing system. The top layer of skin cells is gently exfoliated in a safe, noninvasive manner. Removing this layer promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells and can improve fine lines, sun damage, scarring, and discoloration. As part of your treatment, a mild chemical peel will be applied. The chemical peel resurfaces the face improving hyperpigmentation, fine lines and wrinkles as well as the tone and texture of the skin. We then perform cryogenic therapy, which is an anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and skin polishing procedure that cools and refreshes the skin. During a treatment, you may feel stinging and/or suction sensation. After the treatment, you may expect your skin to be red and shiny for one to two hours. You should not use products containing Retin-A® or Glycolic acid for three days following the treatment.

What Should I Do to Prepare?

To prepare for a treatment, you should not be using Accutane® now and have not used it within the last 12 months. Your skin should be free of an active herpes infection, open wounds, or skin infections.
