MICRODERMABRASION

 

Microdermabrasion is a new "Lunch Time" approach to skin rejuvenation which stimulates the production of the new skin cells and collagen. This gentle technique is performed with a jet of medical-grade aluminum oxide crystals that are projected across your skin. When the crystals make contact with the skin, they remove the outer dead layer. The vacuum pressure simultaneously removes the crystals and dead skin cells delivering them to a waste collection unit. This stimulates blood flow to the surface of the skin increasing the oxygenation causing the enhancement of cell renewal and collagen regrowth. The massaging action of the treatment creates a flushing and cleansing effect below the skin surface resulting in a vibrant, healthy appearance and complexion. As an adult your skin cells replace themselves approximately every 28 days. While undergoing Microdermabrasion those skin cells are replaced much quicker resulting in new skin cell line coming up to the surface much faster.

POST TREATMENT CARE

Your fresh, newly exposed skin will be delicate.

  • Avoid direct sun exposure for 7 days after a treatment. You must wear a high quality sunscreen with an SPF 30 if possible.

  • Avoid a chlorinated pool the day of the treatment.

  • Avoid strenuous activities following the treatment.

  • Avoid alpha-Hydroxy Acid, Glycolic Acid and exfoliation products for 3 days before and 24-48 hours after a treatment.
