What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a nonsurgical, noninvasive procedure that offers safe and controlled removal of the outer, dead layers of the skin. The remaining skin is more smooth, fresh and rejuvenated. Microdermabrasion, using a highly controlled spray of fine medical grade aluminum oxide crystals, (one hundred microns in size), under pressure and vacuum. Debris and used crystals are simultaneously vacuumed into a sealed waste container and disposed. These crystals literally "erase" the imperfections and sun damage, without damaging the skin's integrity. The result: a smoother, more youthful appearance. Afterwards, your skin will feel very smooth and very clean. You may feel as though you have a mild windburn. But, the treatment is not painful. Our aestheticians will apply a hydrating, soothing serum followed by chemical free sunblock. If you desire, they will also apply mineral makeup which will not clog pores or cause irritation of any kind.
Microdermabrasion is performed in approximately 30 to 45 minutes and is a very comfortable treatment. It may stand alone as a treatment method, or it may be used to complement your home care regimen of skin care products.
Microdermabrasion can be performed on any area of the face or body. We regularly perform microdermabrasion on the face neck, chest, back hands and arms.
