Microdermabrasion is a procedure that involves top layer of the skin and to promote the production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layer of the dermis. Microdermabrasion is a closed vacuum system that exfoliates the thickened epidermis then vacuums away the crystals and skin debris revealing healthier skin. It can clean your pores and hinder any future breaks outs if used on a regular basis.  Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen net working to further even out skin texture and appearance.

• Polishing and reducing fine lines.
• Mild acne scarring
