Reveal Your Brightest Complexion
Microdermabrasion effectively targets and diminishes fine lines, mild acne scars, enlarged pores, and uneven skin tone by gently removing the outer layer of dead skin. This non-invasive exfoliation process stimulates the skin's natural healing, boosting collagen production for a smoother, more vibrant complexion. With no discomfort and zero downtime, it's an ideal choice for improving skin texture and achieving a healthier, more youthful appearance.

Procedure and Recovery
During your Microdermabrasion session, you’ll experience a gentle exfoliation as the device is passed over your skin to remove dead skin cells on the outermost layer. This process is not only refreshing but also stimulates the underlying epidermis to promote new collagen production, leading to firmer, more youthful skin. It’s a comfortable process that doesn’t require numbing agents or downtime, making it an ideal lunch-hour treatment.
One of the key benefits of Microdermabrasion is no downtime, allowing you to return to your daily activities immediately after the procedure. Your skin may appear slightly flushed, similar to a mild sunburn, but this typically fades within a few hours.
Microdermabrasion is known to be safe and of low risk for complications. Some clients might experience minor redness and sensitivity post-treatment, which quickly subsides.
