What are Micro-Dermabrasion treatments like?

We effect a superficial skin polishing with the aid of a delicate hand piece, through which micro-crystals are vacuumed. This technique delivers a gentle abrasion which efficiently produces satisfying results in as little as twenty minutes. Micro-Dermabrasion treatments enhance your skin's appearance through a course of weekly sessions. These treatments combat the signs of aging skin, thus achieving what no other available treatment can (without surgery). Most importantly, Micro-Dermabrasion is safe to use on all skin colors and types.

How soon will I see results?

After your first treatment, your skin will have a fresh pink glow. Improvement continues throughout your treatment program. The number of treatments recommended for
maximum results ranges from two to twelve.
