Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure for overall skin rejuvenation. It can help diminish tan and improve the appearance of sun-damaged skin.

Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled vacuum suspension of fine, medical-grade crystals or using a device with a diamond tip, which is gently passed over the skin to exfoliate it. This process can remove the top layers of dead skin, reducing build-up.

Microdermabrasion is a much less invasive alternative to traditional 'dermabrasion', which can leave the skin sensitive for weeks. This method instead allows for smoother-looking skin and a significant reduction in the appearance of scars, large pores and acne
