Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion effectively reduces fine lines, crow's feet, age spots and acne scars by stimulating the production of skin cells and collagen, which gives the skin an overall fresh, healthy-looking glow.
The doctor uses a tool that emits crystals onto the surface of the skin, resulting in a gentle abrasion or "polishing" process. Each treatment is 30 minutes to an hour long. The number of treatments recommended for maximal results can range between 5 to 12, spaced from 2 to 3 weeks apart. Results require periodic maintenance and follow up treatments after the initial regimen.
Microdermabrasion has virtually no side effects. It is effective on all skin colors and types and does not require an anesthetic.
Q: Will insurance cover plastic surgery procedures?
A: There is a distinction between cosmetic and reconstructive surgery. Most insurance do not cover cosmetic surgery to reshape normal structures in order to improve the appearance and self-esteem of a patient. Insurance covers reconstructive procedures on abnormal structures on the body caused by birth defect, cancer, trauma, infection or disease.
