Microdermabrasion Treatment in Northern California

Microdermabrasion is a revolutionary, non-invasive treatment invented in Italy for skin rejuvenation. Multiple articles in dermatologic medical journals have proven that microdermabrasion improves acne scars, wrinkles and acne by exfoliating the outer dead layers of the skin and stimulating new collagen formation in the deeper dermal layers, revealing younger, fresher skin. Microdermabrasion can even treat stubborn acne scars of the back. During your consultation, you may request a sample of the treatment on the back or your hand to sample its benefits and painlessness.

Who is an Ideal Candidate for Microdermabrasion?

Most skin types can benefit from microdermabrasion. If you are looking to reduce acne and trauma scars on the face or back, reduce enlarged pores, wrinkles, or brown spots, Microdermabrasion may be the best procedure for you. The best way to find out is the schedule a consultation so a professional can analyze your skin and provide a personalized recommendation.

Our Process for Microdermabrasion

When we are ready to begin the treatment, the patients begin to relax by lying down. Then, a fine mist of crystals are sprayed onto the skin’s surface and gently suctioned away. The dual action of mechanical exfoliation combined with dynamic stimulatory effects of the vacuum-suction result in new collagen production and skin rejuvenation. This treatment is only performed by Licensed Aestheticians and Registered Nurses.

I really appreciate my dermatologist, Sam. Her bedside manner puts me at ease and I trust she had my best interests at heart. She helped me find the best solution for my skincare needs, and helped me understand the treatments. It was through her recommendation and advice that I finally decided to go for Botox and the Halo Laser treatment.I have one tiny complaint, unrelated to my dermatologist Sam in any way. The chairs in the treatment rooms in both the Los Altos and San Francisco office are uncomfortable, even when reclined.Overall I'm very pleased with Sam and the services provided!

I have been a loyal patient at Berman Skin Institute for years and have always appreciated the quality of medical care provided. However, my recent experience with their billing practices has been extremely disappointing and has caused me to question whether I can continue trusting this practice.Before my last appointment, I was charged a $150 deposit with the assurance that it would be refunded after insurance processed the claim. Ten months later, I still hadn’t received my refund and had to call the office to get it resolved. Upon investigation, I discovered that I should have only been charged $84, with the rest refunded. While the billing department apologized and claimed this was an error, I find this explanation hard to accept since the exact same issue happened to my wife.This repeated issue suggests a systemic flaw in their billing process that needs urgent attention. How many other patients are experiencing this same frustration without realizing they are owed a refund? I’m sharing this because as a long-time patient, I truly want to see Berman Skin Institute succeed, but this is unacceptable and must be corrected.Trust is the foundation of any patient-provider relationship, and these types of mistakes are damaging. I urge the management team to review and reform their billing practices to ensure refunds are processed automatically and in a timely manner. I hope to see meaningful changes soon because I want to continue being a patient here—but only if this issue is resolved.

I REALLY am grateful for Berman Skin Institute. In a world where getting an appointment with a dermatologist covered by your insurance can take months, Berman is outstanding. I see Anna Staub. I know my skin very well and will quickly point out my areas of concern. We zap them or cut them out: off to pathology. It just has never been quite as easy for me as it is here. I feel like my concerns are listened to and taken seriously, and that doesn’t happen that much these days either. Thanks!
Anna was awesome. She did a thorough examination of my skin and answered all of my questions. She’s amazing!
