Microdermabrasion
This is a non-surgical, virtually painless method of rejuvenation by means of mechanical skin exfoliation without chemicals or laser. It is performed by passing a hand-held device that uses a controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals over the skin. These crystals, delivered at high velocity onto the skin surface are immediately vacuumed away, taking the top layer of dead skin cells with it.
It is aimed at treating fine lines and wrinkles, sun damaged skin, acne prone skin and superficial age spots and hyperpigmentation. The process improves the tone and texture of the skin, while at the same time the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the treatment and this promotes new collagen production.
