What is microdermabrasion?

A highly effective non-surgical procedure that restores a clear and youthful glow. The microdermabrasion device has several different treatment heads with a diamond edge to buff the epidermis. Treatment areas can include the face, neck, chest, hands and back. Microdermabrasion is safe for all skin types. For longer and more radiant results microdermabrasion may be combined with our facials and PCA Skin chemical peels.

What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?

• Gently exfoliates the epidermis (outermost layer of the skin)
• Minimizes the appearance of pores
• Stimulates collagen
• Refines skin texture

What will my skin look like post treatment?

You may have mild redness post treatment. Your skin may also feel dry the next day. Proper hydration will help with the dryness. If combined with a chemical peel, your skin may feel warm and tingly for about an hour after the treatment.
