Our Process for Microdermabrasion
When we are ready to begin the treatment, the patients begin to relax by lying down. Then, a fine mist of crystals are sprayed onto the skin’s surface and gently suctioned away. The dual action of mechanical exfoliation combined with dynamic stimulatory effects of the vacuum-suction result in new collagen production and skin rejuvenation. This treatment is only performed by Licensed Aestheticians and Registered Nurses.
