What is a Microdermabrasion Facial?

The microdermabrasion technique works with microcrystals, which are hard enough to disrupt tired skin cells and cause dull-looking skin, but small enough not to do cause damage, discomfort or pain. The technique involves propelling the microcrystals across the skin’s surface, and removing just the top layer of skin cells.

The technology stimulates the production of new, living cells, creating a healthy glow. It rejuvenates the skin’s epidermal layers, boosts collagen production, and leaves the skin looking plumper and more refreshed.

A Microdermabrasion Facial is great for treating:

• The appearance of fine lines, scars and wrinkles
• Sun-damaged and uneven skin tone
• Acne-prone skin
• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Superficial age spots and Hyper-pigmentation
• Excessive oiliness or dry skin

After a Facial

Microdermabrasion is a progressive procedure. After the first session, your skin will feel softer and you may see a very subtle improvement. Generally, a course of treatments is required to gain visible improvement. Your skin however will improve with additional treatments as increased circulation is noted within the dermis and newer, healthier skin cells are produced.

The only real side effect is the possible temporary redness of the skin, which soon fades.
