Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a simple and effective form of exfoliation for renewing a fresh young-looking glow to your skin. It is considered a mechanical or physical exfoliation removing the outer layer of dead or damaged skin cells revealing a more youthful skin.

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment designed to improve the overall texture, tone and clarity of the skin while restoring the skin’s elasticity.

Microdermabrasion is a treatment that improves the appearance of wrinkles, skin texture and colour by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it softer and plumper. Deeply effective exfoliation also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.

Diamond microdermabrasion treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires no down time after treatment.

The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment but for lasting effects a course of treatment is required to gain visible improvement. Your skin will improve with additional treatments as increased circulation is noted within the dermis and newer, healthier skin cells are produced.
