A closer look at Microdermabrasion

The skin is one of the most complex yet sensitive organs. For protection, skin cells are constantly growing, dividing and replacing themselves. As time takes its toll, Skin develops dark blotches, becomes wrinkly and looses its general healthy glow. Microdermabrasion is non surgical procedure that can eliminate the effects of age spots, acne scars, stretch marks, fine wrinkles or flaking skin.

How do I know if Microdermabrasion would help my skin?
Take a little time to examine your own skin and use the following check list to determine whether we can advise you about microdermabrasion.

* Does your skin have a dry, rough feel?
* Are your pores open and enlarged?
* Are there noticeable skin color changes?
* Do you have a variable texture to your skin?

If you answer positively to any of these questions, microdermabrasion is likely to offer benefit to you.

Is microdermabrasion safe?

Yes. Microdermabrasion is non-invasive. This process involves a precision hand piece top direct a stream of very fine crystals and mild suction exactly where it is needed on your skin. The gentle abrasive action of the crystals combines with the suction to remove the dead outer layer of your skin while bringing smoother, softer skin to the surface. This procedure exfoliates and energizes the skin.

What is treatment like?

Microdermabrasion treatments are not aggressive; they are slow and progressive, and best of all, they work! This treatment can be quite relaxing and is sometimes described as “Superficial skin polishing”. One microdermabrasion treatment only takes 45 minutes and most people are able to go back to work right after.


How soon will I see results?
Immediately! After your first treatment your skin will have a fresh pink glow. It will look healthier and feel smoother and softer. Your improvement will continue throughout your treatment program, which will vary on how deep the damage is.

Maintaining the results
Maintaining healthy looking skin is a daily task. Always wear SPF of at least 15 to protect your skin from the sun's harmful rays. Keep your skin moist and fresh with daily cleansing and moisturizing using specially formulated skin care products
