An advanced non-invasive, non-surgical, high-tech peeling treatment that enhances the skin immediately. Walk away with strikingly, softer, smoother, radiant skin. (Not recommended for thin or sensitive skin.)

Utilizing the latest crystal free, diamond tip microdermabrasion technology, this powerful treatment improves the appearance of skin texture, large or clogged pores, acne and acne scarring, dry or dull patches, sun and age spots, and fine lines and wrinkles.

In addition to surface exfoliation, Microdermabrasion promotes the production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layer of the dermis, it cleans the pores, and stimulates collagen production that can further improve skin texture. It can be successfully used on light or dark skin to treat the face, neck, chest, arms, elbows, knees and hands.

Microdermabrasion is indicated for:

Fine Lines and Wrinkles
Age Spots, Sun Damage and Hyperpigmentation
Acne Scars, Chickenpox Scars and Scratch Marks
Congested Skin, Enlarged Pores and Blemishes
Dull, lackluster Skin

This simple, quick and convenient procedure has become very popular for clients with early signs of aging, sun exposure hyperpigmentation and other facial imperfections. Microdermabrasion is non-invasive and non-wounding to the skin’s surface, the procedure entails virtually no discomfort, down time or recovery.

Microdermabrasion is a multi-step process that removes a micro-thin top layer of skin. This allows products to penetrate more effectively, sun damage gradually disappears, and pores are cleared of dirt and dead skin. The procedure is customized to your specific skin type and needs, and generally takes around an hour.

The first step after cleansing is a five minute, physical or enzymatic exfoliation of the skin depending on your skin type. This frees the skin of dead cellular layers and protein to prepare the skin for further exfoliation. After the skin is completely cleared and the pores are open, an Alpha Hydroxy Acid solution is applied and left on the skin for a short time. This part of the Micropeel helps to reduce acne related conditions and environmental damage to the skin by freeing impacted debris and attacking hyperpigmentation. At the end of the treatment, a cooling mask will be applied to calm the skin and tighten pores depending. Immediately after the treatment, your skin will look fresh, tight, and glowing and will feel velvety smooth to the touch. Some clients experience a slight pinkish tint to their skin for several hours after the treatment, but it generally subsides quickly.
