Microdermabrasion

Years of sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and color. Not only is the face a likely victim of these changes, but the neck, chest, cleavage, arms and hands may be affected as well. Microdermabrasion can reduce the effects of aging on our skin.

Microdermabrasion is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture and color by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. Microdermabrasion also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance. Microdermabrasion treatments are administered by trained aestheticians.

A wonderful alternative or addition to chemical peels, the treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment. Leading plastic surgeons and dermatologists regard the Microdermabrasion system as being more gentle and effective than other exfoliating systems, even at higher settings. The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment.

Microdermabrasion is commonly used in combination with laser, chemical peels and physician strength cleansing products for optimal results.
