Microdermabrasion

Did you know that microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that removes dead cells using crushed crystals? It is a non-surgical skin procedure that helps remove the top layer of dead skin cells. This procedure is performed as an alternative to chemical peels and other methods used to treat scars, hyperpigmentation, photodamage, fine lines, and wrinkles. The goal is to give the skin a smoother appearance and feel.

Microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation treatment that gently sloughs away dead surface skin cells and creates a smoother, softer appearance. It helps thicken your collagen, a protein in your skin that is abundant when you are young, and makes your complexion even and texture taut. As we age, our collagen production declines—along with the quality of skin’s appearance. During the treatment, microcrystals remove months of built-up dead skin cells, allowing your skin to glow like never before and improve its texture.

The procedure takes about 30 minutes and may be combined with other treatments. It typically does not hurt and may require several treatments to reach your desired effects.
