Microdermabrasion gently polishes away the top layer of dull, dead skin, exposing the newer,
more vibrant skin that lies below. This treatment uses a very fine exfoliating agent to remove
the upper most layers of your skin. The aesthetician can control the power of the spray, from a
gentle buffing of the skin to a deeper exfoliation if needed.
The benefits of microdermabrasion are:
- Fresher, more radiant skin
- Diminished sun damage
- Reduced fine lines and age spots
- Improved skin tone
A full face treatment generally takes about 45 minutes and following treatment, skin may
appear lightly pink and the face may feel mildly wind-burned but with minimal discomfort.
Following the procedure, it is important to apply sunscreen and stay out of the sun. While
microdermabrasion is most commonly performed on the face, it can be performed on the
hands and chest. However, the procedure is not recommended for sensitive skin or skin that
easily reddens.
How it works: Microdermabrasion blasts away the dead cells that stack up on the skin as a
result of age and exposure to sun, leaving it looking dry and dull. After one session, skin is
noticeably softer and smoother and has a fresh, healthy glow. Additionally, because the
exfoliation helps bring impurities to the skin's surface, enlarged pores and acne breakouts
can be minimized. With a series multiple treatments done at regular intervals, pigmentation,
fine lines, and scarring can be improved while the skin will appear smoother.
