Microdermabrasion
If your skin is affected by age spots, acne scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, or large pores, you may feel unhappy with your appearance. Microdermabrasion exfoliates the skin to minimize these imperfections and improve your complexion.
Find out why so many people turn to Full Spectrum Dermatology for microdermabrasion in Fullerton, CA.
How Does Microdermabrasion Work?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that can take years off your appearance. Microdermabrasion uses a gentle, effective system to exfoliate the top layers of your skin, revealing fresher, more evenly toned and textured skin underneath. In microdermabrasion, the top layers of skin are painlessly removed using a handheld abrasion device, which also vacuums away exfoliated skin particles. You can benefit from immediate results after just one treatment by dermatologist William Baugh and our team. With multiple treatments, you can achieve even more comprehensive results.
Microdermabrasion Benefits
Microdermabrasion offers a comfortable middle ground between time-consuming topical skin products or more aggressive chemical peels. If your goal is a smoother, glowing facial complexion, consider the benefits of microdermabrasion at our Fullerton, CA, dermatologist's office:
- No recovery time
- Safe for sensitive skin
- Free of harsh chemicals
- More budget-friendly than chemical peels or laser resurfacing
- Non-invasive and extremely gentle
Microdermabrasion vs. Dermabrasion
While the two treatments are similar, microdermabrasion is a gentler, more conservative treatment option. Dermabrasion is better suited for deeper scars and wrinkles while microdermabrasion can help address minor scarring and other skin concerns. Our dermatologist will examine your skin and listen to your concerns in order to determine the right treatment for you. Our Fullerton office provides a range of treatments to meet your needs.

How Many Treatments Do I Need?
A single microdermabrasion appointment is best suited for the treatment of acne or rebuilding collagen, and your skin will show a soft, natural-looking glow after just one visit. However, it is important to note that microdermabrasion provides more pronounced results with each treatment. For the best results, Dr. Baugh will suggest sessions once or twice a week, lasting approximately 35 to 45 minutes each, performed over the course of two to 12 weeks.
Skincare After Microdermabrasion
You will need to wear a minimum of SPF 15 sunscreen to protect your skin following your appointment, but since your skin will not become photosensitive, you can spend time outdoors following your treatment.
