The Medical Skin Care Center of Iowa, a division of Heartland Plastic Surgery, is doing a new procedure that allows you to enhance your appearance over your lunch hour.

This procedure is the DERMA PEEL, which offers a new method to restore healthier, smoother and younger looking skin without the need for harsh chemicals or laser peels. Over 1,000 of these units have successfully been used for over five years now in leading European skin care treatment centers.

Microdermabrasion is a clinically proven technique ideal for the treatment of wrinkles, sun damage, acne scarring, and hyperpigmentation without needles, anesthesia or pain. It is performed by "launching tiny mineral crystals" onto the surface of the skin at a high velocity. This gently removes dead skin cells and lightens the appearance of crows feet and fine lines.

This FDA approved, alternative has essentially no recovery time. One can simply undergo treatment during the lunch hour and walk out of the office with a slight flush that will most likely disappear by dinner. Make-up can be applied immediately and many patients get compliments on their complexion after the first treatment.

Heartland Plastic Surgery is the first and only practice in central Iowa to provide this non-invasive choice to enhance skin tone and quality of the face. "By using the least complicated, most effective devices and reliable products with the least risk," says Eugene J. Cherny, M.D., one of three plastic and reconstructive surgeons at Heartland, "we see results and improvements that are pleasing in every aspect."
