Testimonials
“Dr. Crum -- As you know, I was somewhat skeptical of Chinese medicine when I first came to see you. But I have to say, your acupuncture treatments have had an amazing effect on my physical issues, from my Achilles tendon and lower back to my overall mood. The herbs you prescribed were great, and the treatments were painless, just as you promised. Anyone who is having reservations about acupuncture should come to you immediately!”

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure performed to even and smooth the skin, reduce abnormal pigmentation and lighten freckles, and to deep-cleanse congested pores that can lead to acne. Its anti-aging effect deeply exfoliates to help renew your skin and diminish fine lines, wrinkles, and shallow scarring caused by acne. Microdermabrasion increases skin elasticity and collagen production, which thickens and firms the skin. The effects of microdermabrasion are noticeable after the first treatment, and the procedure is gentle enough to be repeated regularly as a skin “refresher”. Microdermabrasion can facilitate the effectiveness of other skincare treatments, and can provide smoother application and penetration of skincare products or makeup. The microderm tool also stimulates blood flow, bringing oxygen and nutrients to the skin’s surface, while using suction to buff and polish away the uppermost layers of dull and damaged cells.

Procedure
Microdermabrasion is a simple procedure that is performed in the comfort of Dr. Crum's office, and takes no more than 30 minutes. Microdermabrasion does not require any recovery time, and treatments can be easily scheduled during a business day lunch hour. The treatment is painless and does not require anesthesia. You will be provided with instructions that must be followed for a number of days after treatment, including:
• Keeping skin hydrated and moisturized
• Temporarily discontinuing topical treatments, such as Retin A
• Avoiding sun exposure
Length of Results – Number of Treatments
The effects of a microdermabrasion treatment should be fairly long-lasting. Depending on the severity of skin damage, Dr. Crum will recommend how many treatments should be undertaken to receive the maximum benefits. Initially, to obtain maximum results, it is best to undergo weekly treatments for 6 to 10 weeks. After your initial series, a once-monthly treatment should be sufficient to refresh your skin.
Is Microdermabrasion Right for Me? Microdermabrasion can treat a host of conditions. Call for a consultation with Dr. Crum to determine if you are a good candidate for microdermabrasion.
