What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical, non-invasive treatment that uses crystals on the skin to rejuvenate and renew the skin’s surface. The procedure may improve signs of aging and sun exposure. It's a non-invasive, half-hour procedure for the skin on your face and neck, With virtually no recovery time. Microdermabrasion can also reduce hyperpigmentation, and improve the appearance of poorly textured skin, fine lines, and large or clogged pores. The procedure is considered effective for both dark and light-skinned patients.

How does Microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion is performed with a jet of micro fine crystals across the skin’s surface. The aluminum dioxide is a very fine, very hard, sand-like material that blasts away the uppermost layer of dead skin cells on the skin's epidermis. Exfoliated skin and used crystals are vacuumed away revealing rejuvenated and renewed skin. Microdermabrasion can be uncomfortable around the sensitive tissue of the mouth and nose, but should not be painful.
