The Gentle Way to a Younger Complexion
Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-laser skin peeling "resurfacing" process that was invented in Europe. A vacuum pump device blows very fine medical-grade sand across the skin surface and then vacuums back the sand and the very top layer of skin which the sand has 'abraded' away, creating a 'polishing' effect. This gentle removal of the skin surface causes minimal injury but initiates a reparative process underneath which can substantially smooth and soften the skin above. Microdermabrasion can improve acne scars, fine lines, large pores and sun damaged or that 'weather beaten' skin appearance. It is often used as part of a skin rejuvenation package, in combination with Intense Pulsed Light treatments or BOTOX® .
