Medical Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a clinically proven technique that works with your skin's system of growth and replacement. A fine, controlled spray of crystals removes the outer layer of the skin, accelerating your own skin cell turn over, revealing the younger looking, tighter, healthier skin underneath. This gently removes dead skin cells and lightens the appearance of crows feet and fine lines. Heartland Plastic Surgery was one of the first practices in central Iowa to provide this non-invasive choice to enhance skin tone and quality of the face. "By using the least complicated, most effective devices and reliable products with the least risk," says Eugene J. Cherny, M.D.,  "we see results and improvements that are pleasing in every aspect."

What does it help?

Microdermabrasion is ideal for the treatment of wrinkles, sun damage, acne scarring, fine lines, crows feet and hyperpigmentation without needles, anesthesia or pain. The benefits of microdermabrasion are numerous, and your skin care specialist will review these exciting benefits with you. This program will treat all skin types. The procedure is fast, predictable and painless!

How long does it take?

The average procedure takes less than 30 minutes, depending on your skin type and condition. Microdermabrasion is a safe procedure for all skin types, skin conditions and skin colors. Many people will notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment. It is, however, also very important to provide essential nutrients and protection to your newly exposed and healthier skin. When microdermabrasion is used in conjunction with a specially designed skincare line the procedure can make healthy skin a reality!

What about recovery time?

This FDA approved, alternative has essentially no recovery time. One can simply undergo treatment during the lunch hour and walk out of the office with a slight flush that will most likely disappear by dinner. Make-up can be applied immediately and many patients get compliments on their complexion after the first treatment.
