What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is the most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin without chemicals or laser and is one of the most requested non-invasive cosmetic procedures. Microdermabrasion utilizes crystals to gently resurface superficial layers of the skin. When a more aggressive treatment is necessary, vacuum pressure can be increased to evenly penetrate deeper layers of the skin. Microdermabrasion is right for all skin types and for anyone interested in minimizing the appearance of: scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, uneven skin tones, dull, lifeless and sun-damages skin.

Will I experience any discomfort during treatment?

Initially, you may feel a very mild scratching sensation as the crystals make contact with the skin. A topical anesthetic can be applied for more aggressive treatments. Mild redness may occur for ½ hour to one day depending on the aggressiveness of the program.
