- Skin Care
- MicrodermabrasionMicrodermabrasion - Is a particle skin resurfacing technique system combining the polishing action of laser-cut diamond crystals with the action of a vacuum for a customized exfoliation treatment and the feeling of a deep cleansing. The laser-cut diamond crystal tip abrades the skin, removing the top layer of skin as the microdermabrasion machine gently vacuums the loose dead skin cells away from the face, leaving the skin with an immediate smoothing of the outer skin surface. This is a “lunchtime” procedure with little or no recovery time. A series of microdermabrasion treatments will help various skin irregularities, including sallow complexion, blackheads, acne and oily prone skin and the softening of acne scars.
