About Microdermabrasion
When you touch your face, does your complexion feel smooth and soft or rough? The outer skin layer can become covered with dead and damaged skin cells that make your complexion uneven and dull. At Basile Plastic Surgery in Naples, FL, aesthetic plastic surgeon Dr. Andrea Basile performs medical spa services like nonsurgical skin resurfacing using microdermabrasion. Quick and effective, microdermabrasion removes the surface layer of damaged and dead skin so your face is healthier and brighter. This procedure may be performed on its own or along with a complementary procedure, such as a chemical peel or dermal filler, for greater results. At your initial consultation, Dr. Basile will come up with a personalized treatment plan to fit your needs and complexion goals.

Ideal Candidates
Microdermabrasion sessions may minimize the look of blemishes on the skin's surface like dull skin tone, fine lines, uneven texture, clogged pores, scars, and sun damage. It is safe and effective for women and men of every skin type and tone that would like clearer, healthier skin. These treatments are usually used on the face, although it may also be great for the skin on your hands, neck, and chest. This procedure shouldn't be used on skin with an open wound or a chronic skin condition, such as rosacea or acne.
Procedure Technique
Microdermabrasion is completed at our office following a consultation to decide what procedures will give you the best results. During the treatment, you will be asked to lie back in a treatment chair as your face is prepared. The microdermabrasion tool will run along your skin as it exfoliates and sucks up the debris. Although the process may feel unusual, it not considered uncomfortable, so you shouldn't need a local anesthetic or numbing cream. The microdermabrasion treatment will be performed evenly in the needed areas but with extra caution on the delicate skin around the eyes. As soon as the process is over, your skin will be cleaned to get rid of any residual debris before a moisturizer, chosen for your skin's needs with UV protection, is massaged into the skin.
What to Expect
Following your microdermabrasion procedure, you may get back to your regular routine, but you need to apply some form of sun protection since your baby-like skin will be susceptible to sun damage. The treated areas will feel softer and the tone will look brighter. To prolong the benefits, Dr. Basile suggests scheduling these procedures once every 4 – 6 weeks. Some Basile Plastic Surgery patients feel that after treatments, the skincare products they use at home (particularly moisturizers) soak easily into the skin for more effective results.
