Microdermabrasion

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is an intense exfoliation process that rejuvenates the skin by utilizing either a unique diamond-tip combined with vacuum suction or ultra-fine aluminium oxide crystals to remove the upper layer of the stratum corneum. At the same time, the hand piece of the instrument contains a vacuum tube that sweeps up the skin's cellular debris and the used crystals. This process exfoliates the skin, stimulating the production of collagen and elastin which will result in a firmer, more youthful looking skin over time.

In our practice, this is not usually done alone but as an adjunctive procedure in combination with Photofacial Rejuvenation.
