WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
Do you ever look in the mirror and wish that your face had a more even skin tone? If you answered yes,
you may want to consider microdermabrasion. This non-invasive treatment gently exfoliates your skin.
After a series of treatments, your complexion can appear smoother, brighter, and more even in color.

HOW DOES MICRODERMABRASION WORK?
Microdermabrasion treatments last 20-30 minutes and use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently
sand the skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer. Weekly to twice monthly treatments are
usually recommended for the first six months, with monthly maintenance treatments after that.
Microdermabrasion helps to thicken your collagen, which results in a younger looking complexion.
Collagen is a protein in your skin that’s abundant when you’re a child and makes skin appear taut and
smooth. Collagen production declines as we age, resulting in looser, uneven skin. If you remove or break
up the outer layer of dead skin, the body interprets that as a mild injury and rushes to replace the lost
skin cells with new and healthy ones. The healing process brings with it newer skin cells that look and
feel smoother. Some of the skin’s visible imperfections, like sun damage, blemishes and fine lines, are
removed. Also, without the dead outer layer acting as a barrier, creams and lotions are more effective
because more of their active ingredients and moisture can find their way down to the lower layers of the
skin.
