PARTICLE SKIN RESURFACING/

MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion can remove old, tired skin and stimulate the growth of new skin cells.  Your face will look softer, smoother and younger.

Let Us Help You Improve:

• fine lines and wrinkles
• sun damaged skin
• oily, acne prone, and acne scarred skin
• enlarged pores
• age spots and superficial pigmentation
• even skin tone and colour
• smooth and refine skin anywhere on your body

How Does It Work?

• Your face is gently but thoroughly washed and toned in preparation
• Ultra fine crystals are projected to the surface of your skin.
• The crystals remove environmental pollutants and dead and dying cells from the outer region of the skin called the epidermis.
• The vacuum pressure serves to aggressively stimulate the underlying region of the skin.  Increased blood circulation to the skin helps to encourage the growth of new skin cells as well as collagen and elastins that give a toned and firm look to the skin.
• As blood flow is increased to the skin, fluid and toxins are eliminated through the facial lymphatic system to improve unsightly puffiness around the eyes.
• With the removal of the first few layers of the epidermis the newly exposed skin cells quickly become visible on the surface of the skin giving a new radiance to your face.
• The treatments take about 30 minutes and are optimally done every 7 - 14 days.  A series of 6 - 8 treatments is usually required to achieve maximum results.
• You will need a monthly treatment to maintain the results.
