Microdermabrasion is a way to exfoliate the upper layers of the skin. It is like "sand blasting" the skin using tiny crystals in a self contained unit.  Our highly trained aestheticians apply these tiny crystals to your skin with a special machine that immediately removes the crystals from the surface of skin.  This helps exfoliate the top layer of your skin, revealing younger, healthier looking skin.

When these crystals interact with the skin, they help remove the dead skin cells that are on the top layer of your skin.  Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types.  In fact, we even carry a special crystal that is safe for our pregnant clients.  This is a treatment that provides advanced care for skin that is sun damaged, acne scarred, has fine lines, or is coarse.

Why do you want to exfoliate your skin?

Your skin is constantly renewing, and as we get older, this process gets slower.  With an older layers of skin on top, you have a dull and aged appearance.  Exfoliating your skin and gently removing that layer of dead skin cells allows fresher skin to be exposed, which gives you that "glow" or healthier appearance. There are many ways to exfoliate your skin, microdermabrasion being one of them.

While you can do mild exfoliation at home with gentle scrubs or with chemical enzymes, you can opt to come into our office for a deep exfoliation.  As with any procedure like this, be sure to use your sunscreen regularly, so that your newly exposed skin doesn't become damaged. Our aesthetician or physician can recommend the right sunscreen for you.

Exfoliation is an excellent way to freshen up your look.  Your skin will have a radiant glow, along with a smoother surface for make-up application.  If you've been thinking your skin is looking a bit dull or rough lately, maybe it's time to try Microdermabrasion. It's amazing what a difference exfoliation makes.
