Solution:
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating, skin-refreshing technique that removes the top layer of skin, thereby leaving a smoother texture and promoting the growth of healthy new skin cells. The procedure mixes gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. It is non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no down time. Microdermabrasion is one of the safest skin rejuvenation procedures available today. Your skin care specialist can recommend how many treatments you may need for your specific needs.
This procedure can be performed on the face, neck, chest, arms and hands.
Results:
- Improved skin texture
- Even color tone / pigmentation
- Smoother, fresher looking skin
- Reduce visible signs of aging / Younger looking skin
- Promotes growth of new, healthy skin cell / stimulate cellular turnover
DIAMONDTOME™
Kagan Plastic Surgery’s Skin Care Center performs all medical microdermabrasions using the DiamondTome™ wand. Skin resurfacing with a DiamondTome™ wand removes the top layer of skin with natural diamond chips, while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells in a sterile and controlled manner. Whereas traditional microdermabrasion treatments use a stream of chemical crystals to exfoliate the top skin layer, DiamondTome™ is a non-crystal, gentler procedure that does not leave the adverse effects of loose particles, perforations, irritation or skin reaction.
Take years off your aging skin in just minutes
Problem:
- Acne related hyperpigmentation
- Acne scarring
- Facial blemishes
- Sun damaged skin
- Severe hyperpigmentation / Melasma (darkening of the skin)
- Age spots or freckles
- Fine Lines and wrinkles
Solution:
Glycolic acid peels involve the application of a prescription-strength solution that penetrates the topmost layers of the facial skin to rejuvenate on a cellular level. This exfoliation of the epidermis (outer layer of the skin) can be performed on the entire face or just certain areas. A single chemical peel treatment may provide good results for some, but others may opt for repeated treatments to improve skin’s overall texture (deeper peel). This is a highly effective procedure with no downtime.
VITALIZE PEEL® from SkinMedica™:
Kagan Plastic Surgery’s Skin Care Center supports the superior results of SkinMedica’s Vitalize Peel® for treating chemical peel patients. Vitalize Peel® is a unique blend of alpha-hydroxy acids, beta-hydroxy acids, resorcinol and retinoic acid (obtained by physicians only) formulated to provide a strong, but gentle skin treatment. This self-neutralizing formula is suitable for all skin types. Predictable and noticeable results can be seen after just one treatment, with more dramatic results after a series of peels.

- Improved skin tone and texture
- More even complexion
- Tighten pores
- Reduce fine lines
- Smoother, brighter looking skin
- Healthier, more youthful appearance
Problem:
- Dull, dry skin
- Oily, blemished skin

Solution:
A facial is a very pampering, non-invasive skin care regimen designed for the condition of your skin. A facial can include a variety of skin treatments including: steam, exfoliation, extraction, creams, lotions, masks, peels and massage. A facial deeply cleanses and maintains skin by exfoliating dead skin cells. A facial nourishes your face to promote clear, well-hydrated skin. There are special facial formulas for every type of skin. Ideally, one should get a facial every 4-6 weeks as that is how long it takes for the skin to regenerate. At the very minimum, 4 times per year is suggested as the seasons change.
Result:
- Clear, fresh, dewy skin
- Plumper, firmer facial skin
- Nourished, hydrated skin
