Microdermabrasion
What is microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a quick, progressive, pain-free, non-invasive treatment that propels natural mineral crystals onto the surface of the skin, for gentle epidermal abrasion.The technique exfoliates, resulting in the formation of newer, healthier younger skin. In addition, it stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin, improving skin texture and elasticity.
After treatment the skin has a pink glow, and you can resume your normal activities immediately. The procedure can even be done during lunch hour!

Even the first time I had the microdermabrasion done I noticed a huge difference. The dull color of my tired skin was revitalized. Fine lines around my eyes were visibly reduced. I literally could not believe my eyes of how my skin’s pigmentation was evened out. This was a safe and non-invasive procedure that took very little time to recuperate.
