What is Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is used to reduce the appearance of fine lines, brown/age spots, uneven skin tones, large pores, acne and chicken pox scars, blotchiness, hyperpigmentation, sun damage, skin imperfections, dry and flaky skin.

How does it work?

By removing the dead skin cells found in the stratum corneum or "outer layer", thus diminishing  the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, etc. (like planning down the mountains, so the valleys are less noticeable.)

Also, anything done following microdermabrasion will work better.  There is no sense in applying moisture to dead skin cells.... like putting cream on your feet without taking your shoes off.

This is one of the more recent skin-care techniques to have crossed over from Hollywood to the mainstream. It's being advanced as an "instant facelift" -- an effective alternative to costlier and more invasive procedures like plastic surgery and Botox injections. Recently, more and more men are trying it, instead of pursuing cosmetic surgery.

With this process the skin's surface is improved. The healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and feel smoother. Some of the skin's visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are removed. Also, without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, medicinal creams and lotions are more effective because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of skin. Studies suggest that repeated microdermabrasion treatment at regular intervals may influence the way the lower layers of skin grow, as well.
