  Most of us know (thanks to game shows and Trivial Pursuit) that the skin is the largest organ in the body. It has the most contact with the outside world, and therefore as we age the visible signs of that contact start to show in the form of age spots, fine lines, crow’s feet or acne scars. Most of these defects are imbedded in the outermost layer of skin called the stratum corneum, the very top layer of the epidermis. It acts as a protective layer, helping to seal in moisture and seal out all but the smallest molecules from getting through. Consequently, that protection also slows the rate at which the skin creates new cells.
Microdermabrasion is a process of physically removing just this outermost layer. The body interprets this as an injury and rushes to create new cells. The result is a fresh new look – the new skin is softer and smoother, and many of the surface imperfections are removed or minimized. Moisturizers also penetrate the skin far deeper than before, so with a little care the new skin can be kept softer and more supple than would have been previously possible. At Monarch we use the DiamondTome™ system, a great improvement over the older abrasive based treatments. It guarantees you a pain free experience.
For best results, several Microdermabrasion treatments over the course of a year are advised. There is very little discomfort (usually only for a few hours at most), virtually no side effects, and it works on all skin colors and types.
While you can buy over the counter products that claim to give the same results, we encourage you to call Monarch Med Spa’s licensed nurses. Find out why you will get better results faster using our state-of-the-art equipment. We offer free consultations in the greater Philadelphia and Baltimore metro areas.
