Diamond Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a popular exfoliation treatment designed to smooth and clarify the outer layers of skin. The treatment is quick, comfortable and cost effective.

How to know if microdermabrasion is right for you

If your skin is dull, sun-damaged, or uneven, microdermabrasion might be a good solution for you. The treatment is considered minimally invasive because, unlike laser treatments that penetrate deeply or ablate the outer skin layers, microdermabrasion simply "buffs" the skin to remove superficial imperfections and exfoliate thoroughly.  Skin imperfections that may be corrected with microdermabrasion include the following:

• mild photodamage
• fine wrinkles
• blemishes
• dull skin

If you don't require an extensive skin resurfacing procedure, microdermabrasion may be an excellent choice for improving the appearance of your skin.

How microdermabrasion works

This treatment works by blowing super fine aluminum crystals onto the skin and immediately removing them with suction, creating a superficial abrasion of the skin surface. A handpiece is slowly moved across the skin to evenly treat the areas targeted for exfoliation. For satisfactory results, it may be necessary to undergo a series of microdermabrasion treatments.
