What is Microdermabrasion? |
|
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive superficial skin polishing using micro-crystals that are vacuumed through a delicate hand piece. The treatment leaves your skin softer, smoother and fresher looking. Since microdermabrasion is not invasive like a facelift or laser surgery, it is safe for all skin types and can be performed in as little as 20 minutes with no down time or recovery period. Ever wonder how Hollywood stars keep their youthful glow? The ideal candidates for Microdermabrasion are men and women who have a good skin tone, are in good health and have realistic expectations. |

Microdermabrasion treatments last about 10 to 30 minutes as the gentle abrasive micro-crystals are applied and vacuumed off the area of concern. For best results, treatments are applied through a course of bi-weekly sessions, ranging from 2 to 12 weeks depending on the severity of the condition and the desired results.
