Microdermabrasion 

This is a minimally invasive, very safe treatment, which helps reduce fine lines, minimize age spots and acne, and give the skin a healthy glow. Skin is exfoliated with the help of fine abrasive crystals, removing the dead outer layer of cells, and revealing the newer skin beneath. In contrast to over the counter exfolliants, which tend to contain rough materials that can cause damage by producing microscopic trauma, Microdermabrasion is a controlled yet deeper exfoliation that leaves the epidermis intact.

Microdermabrasion is a good skin health maintenance procedure as it stimulates collagen production and deposition, and therefore thickens the epidermis over time counteracting some of the effects of aging. It is an excellent way to achieve a quick and easy improvement in complexion that is dull and lackluster. The skin feels silky, and makeup goes on smoothly and evenly after microdermabrasion. Many patients find this is a great treatment a few days before a significant occasion or party.
