Microdermabrasion is a gentle exfoliation procedure to treat mild discoloration, light scarring and sun damage. A diamond-tipped tool is used to gently abrade or “sand” away the top layer of skin, prompting your body to produce more collagen and regenerate skin cells for a youthful and refreshed appearance.

Dr. Vanek Works with You Individuality

Your individual anatomy and the condition of your skin will help Dr. Vanek determine the right treatment for you. As an experienced board-certified general and plastic surgeon, Dr. Vanek may suggest alternate treatments, like Vanek Cosmeceuticals™ or a laser-based rejuvenation procedure. During your Cleveland microdermabrasion consult, Dr. Vanek will educate you on the risks and benefits of any procedure and empower you to make an informed, medically sound decision.

“The treatment your skin needs will be targeted to you after careful analysis and examination,” Dr. Vanek says. “Give us a call. I’d love to talk with you and help you celebrate your beauty.”
