 Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that utilizes micro crystals to help repair facial skin that has been over-exposed to the harsh elements we face on a daily basis. This innovative treatment helps to remove surface skin in order to diminish the damage created by sun exposure, reduce pore size, diminish pigmentation irregularities, remove blackheads, reduce stretch marks and even reduce the early signs of aging and minor acne scaring. This technique is a non-invasive procedure that effectively removes the skin’s surface layer thereby causing facial skin to appear younger, fresher and healthier.
During the Microdermabrasion procedure a wand-like device tipped with micro crystals that is passed along the skin and with the aid of suction, lightly sands down the surface layers of the epidermis; traditional microdermabrasion crystals are zinc, sodium or aluminum. These tiny crystal grains safely and gently ablate the skin in order to unclog pores, removes dead skin cells and increase overall circulation. The surface of the skin is enhanced because this treatment enable the skin’s cells to renew more easily which leaves the skin visibly and touchably smoother, brighter and more refreshed. A series of treatments will help to rejuvenate and firm damaged facial and body skin. Microdermabrasion uses no lasers, acids or any other chemicals to achieve results, it is simply a fast and easy way to help maintain beautiful skin.
Similar to many other non-invasive aesthetic procedures, there is more than one form of Microdermabrasion Crystal Microdermabrasion enlists micro crystals to help blast away the top layer of skin for medical grade exfoliation. Diamond Microdermabrasion functions without crystals, instead the exfoliation occurs as the tip of the wand as it makes contact with the skin; the dead cells are removed with vacuum suction.
