Microdermabrasion is a skin resurfacing treatment that rejuvenates and restores a natural glow to the skin, repairing the effects of sun and aging. The microdermabrasion procedure is simple, painless AND is equally effective to surgical procedures (laser skin resurfacing, dermal abrasion) and chemical peels(for superficial skin imperfections only).
Microdermabrasion uses a hand-held device like a fine sandblaster to spray and circulate tiny crystals across the skin, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. The entire procedure, unlike dermabrasion or laser skin surgery, doesn't take more than 30-60 minutes. You can have it on the face, neck, chest, back, feet and hands.

What can I expect during or after the treatment?
The best thing about microdermabrasion is that it doesn't hurt at all. The most you’ll feel is a tingling sensation during treatment, and your skin may look slightly red in the first 24 hours. It's equally effective to other, more invasive skin procedures. You can get back to your daily routine immediately afterwards. For best results, patients may consider between 6-12 treatments schedule 1-2 weeks apart.
The right candidate for is anyone over 14 who wants to get rid of superficial acne scars, blotchy skin, large pores, age or sun spots, fine wrinkles or uneven skin tone and texture.
