Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a gentle but powerful mechanical skin exfoliator that is minimally invasive. By removing the uppermost layer of dead skin cells, microdermabrasion makes the skin appear smoother, reduces pore size, lightens hyperpigmentation, and better absorbs active ingredients found in high-tech skincare products.
Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colors. It is a suitable treatment for the following skin concerns:
