Some commonly asked Microdermabrasion questions:
How does Microdermabrasion work and what results can I expect?
Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing procedure and is conducted by vacuuming micro-crystals through a delicate hand piece, which is held at a precise angle to the skin, producing a skin-polishing peel. In as little as 30 - 40 minutes, this gentle abrasive technique efficiently produces results. The treatment spans over a few sessions. This treatment enhances the skin’s condition by stimulating collagen production and does what no other available non-surgical treatment can do in combating the signs of aging skin. The procedure is safe to use on all skin types and colors.
It also reduces age spots and fine lines, unclogs pores, diminishes acne, stimulates collagen and a produces a more uniform skin tone. Most people report that their skin is visibly softer, tighter, smoother and younger-looking, even right after their first treatment.
