What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a clinically proven technique for treating fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, stretch marks and hyperpigmentation.

This technology planes and refines skin texture allowing your skins? natural regeneration process to diminish imperfections. This process can result in up to a 30% increase in the elasticity of the skin restoring confidence to the most visible part of your body.

This non-invasive procedure is performed with a light suction of fine crystals that look like fine ground sugar. These crystals are passed across the skin at a high rate of speed resulting in an abrasion.

This process stimulates circulation beneath the surface of the skin, leaving the skin rejuvenated. Unlike lasers, there is no generation of heat so the procedure can be administered on all different skin types. No anesthesia is required. The process requires no healing time and can be done on your lunch break. Results are immediate with smooth, glowing skin and overall tone and texture improvements.

Does It Hurt?
The treatment feels like a mild biting sensation, similar to the feeling of stinging raindrops.

How many treatments will I need to accomplish a new rejuvenated appearance?
The number of treatments will depend on skin type and condition. Results are usually immediate; however, an average of 5 or more treatments, spaced about 2-3 weeks apart will be necessary to achieve a dramatic improvement. Maintenance treatments every 4-6 weeks will be required to maintain results.

How long will it take to recover from a treatment?
There is no down time. You?ll feel similar to having had a mild sunburn and feel tightening of the skin. You can apply makeup or moisturizer on the treated area and return to your day of activity as normal.
