Microdermabrasion & Glycolic Peel

Microdermabrasion, a progressive restoration process for the skin, is a gentle resurfacing technique that may treat a wide range of skin imperfections. It regenerates the epidermal cell structure increasing the skin’s elasticity and collagen, resulting in a more youthful appearance to the skin.

• The results are a more youthful and vibrant appearance of the skin by regenerating the epidermal cell structure, increasing the skin’s elasticity and improving texture
• Treatments usually take about 30 minutes depending on the size of the area treated

How does it work?

• Micronized diamond tips combined with highly controlled vacuum pressure remove dead and damaged skin cells, stimulating collagen and improving the texture of the skin
