FAQ
What is Microdermabrasion ?
Microdermabrasion is the proven skin treatment that removes dead skin cells from the outer layer of the stratum corneum (top layer of the skin) and in turn diminishes blackheads, open pores, and uneven skin tone. It can also help with very fine lines and oily skin. By exfoliating the dead skin cells it allows products to be absorbed deeper into the skin which is the key to a smoother vibrant complexion!
How does microdermabrasion work?
Microdermabrasion works by using the double action of suction and crystals to gently exfoliate away dead dull skin cells from the top layers of the skin.
