What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is an FDA approved, non-invasive treatment that removes the top layer of dead skin cells. It also promotes the production of new cells in the (deepest) layer of the dermis. It cleans pores and aids in balancing oil production while stimulating collagen production to further even out skin texture and tone.

How does Microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion works in two ways. It works by gently exfoliating or removing the outside layers (stratum corneum) of the skin. The abrasive action of the wand gently removes the outer surface layers, allowing smoother, fresher skin to be apparent. The second way is that the vacuum action helps to stimulate microcirculation and lymphatic flow, increasing the blood supply that provides nutrients needed for skin regeneration. This helps accelerate the skins repair process and stimulates the formation of new collagen and elastin thereby improving skin texture and elasticity.
