Soften, Smooth & Rejuvenate

Microderm Abrasion is a non-invasive procedure where very fine, sterile crystals are sprayed across the surface of the skin. They gently abrade away the dry and damaged surface cell layers, leaving the skin smoother and more vibrant.

No, it can be used anywhere on the body where smoother, softer skin is desired. Microdermabrasion is most often performed on the face, but can be performed on most skin surfaces, such as hands, chest and areas where rough skin is prevalent, such as elbows, knees and heels.

Microderm Abrasion takes about 30 minutes, however, we strongly recommend that it be combined with a chemical peel, which adds an additional 15 minutes to the procedure.

Chemical peels dissolve the bonds between the cells, making the epidermis more porous, less compact and more permeable, increasing uptake of your products by the dermis. A specific peel will be chosen depending on your skin’s balance.

Side-effects of microderm abrasion and chemical peels include redness, swelling, itching, irritation, skin peeling or flaking (depending on the type of chemical peel) and infection, if you fail to follow post procedure instructions. We recommend the use of sunscreen and avoidance of direct sun for 72 hours.

The procedure is very gentle. The skin will feel taught as the tip is pressed against it, with a mild tingling sensation. This may vary depending on the individual and the body area being tested.

While any procedure has potential for harm, Microderm Abrasion is extremely safe.

We recommend that you maintain a good skin care regime in order to maintain healthy glowing skin.
