MICRODERMABRASION
HEALTHIER, YOUNGER LOOKING SKIN
Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation procedure which smoothes wrinkles and fine lines, improves the appearance of scars, reduces the size of pore, and helps improve age and sun spots. It can be described as an intense mechanical exfoliation treatment which removes the top layer of the skin.
WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
If you’re looking to smooth out fine facial wrinkles or improve the look of scars left from an accident or previous surgery, then microdermabrasion will help “refinish” the skin’s top layers. By using a diamond tip device to gently buff away built up dead skin cells.
A controlled spray of very fine aluminum oxide is applied to the surface of the skin, removing the upper layer of the epidermis. While emitting the spray, the device simultaneously works to clear excess oxide crystals and the skinís cellular debris. This process helps the skin cells to stimulate new collagen, resulting in increased skin firmness and tone, revealing a fresh youthful looking face.

Microdermabrasion is used for scarring and wrinkle reduction and can be performed on small areas of the skin or the entire face. It can be used alone or in conjunction with other skin treatments such as dermaplaning, facials and lighter chemical peel.
