MICRO-DERMABRASION
What is Micro-dermabrasion?
Micro-dermabrasion is a progressive, non-invasive treatment that
propels natural mineral crystals onto the surface of the skin for gentle
epidermal abrasion that reveals newer, healthier, younger skin.
How does the treatment work?
Micro-dermabrasion works in two
ways:
Correction: The speed of the
crystal flow causes an abrasive action that
gently removes the surface layers of the skin,
allowing smoother, fresher skin to emerge.
Stimulation: The vacuum action helps to
stimulate microcirculation, increasing the blood
supply that provides nutrients needed for skin
regeneration. It also stimulates formation
of new collagen and elastin to improve skin
texture and elasticity.
Is it painful?
No, the treatments is performed
with little discomfort. At the most,
sensitive patients might experience a slight
sensation resembling a light sunburn.
After treatment, the skin has a
pink glow, and you can resume your normal
activities almost immediately. The
procedure can be done during lunch hour.

How long does it take?
Each treatment takes 30 minutes
