About Microdermabrasion


How does the treatment work?

This gentle technique is performed with a jet of fine medical-grade aluminum oxide crystals that are projected across your skin. When the crystals make contact with the skin, they remove the outer dead layer. The vacuum pressure simultaneously removes the crystals and dead skin cells delivering them into a waste collection unit. This stimulates blood flow to the surface of the skin increasing the oxygenation, causing the enhancement of cell renewal and collagen regrowth. The massaging action of the treatment creates a flushing and cleansing effect below the skin surface resulting in a vibrant, healthy appearance and complexion. As an adult your skin cells replace themselves approximately every 28 days. While undergoing microdermabrasion those skin cells get replaced much quicker resulting in new skin cells coming up to the surface much faster.
