Microdermabrasion

It is a non-chemical, non-invasive cosmetic procedure for skin resurfacing in which the dry, dead outermost surface of the skin is removed by light abrasion.
This technique works mainly for sun-damaged skin, scars, dark spots on the skin as well as acne scars, fine lines and other effects of aging. It can also stimulates the production of a new layer of skin cells containing higher levels of collagen which will further improve the skin's appearance yielding a clearer ,younger and healthier-looking glow of the skin.

The two main types of microdermabrasion are: Crystal Microdermabrasion and Diamond Microdermabrasion.

The Crystal microdermabrasion technology involves the use of a special hand piece that propels a high-speed flow of aluminum oxyde crystals across the skin causing gentle exfoliation that breaks up dead skin and other imperfections. At the same time, the used crystals along with dead skin cells are sucked away by the machine's vacuum system.

The diamond microdermabrasion , on the other hand, uses diamond tip wands made of natural diamond chips. It polishes the skin and removes dead cells, which are then vacuumed back into a waste filter. This is mainly used for areas around the eyes and mouth.

Microdermabrasion is suitable for all types of skin and is ideal for skin sensitive to chemical procedures. It is often referred to as the “lunch hour” facial because it can be completed in as little as thirty minutes and normal regular activities can be resumed immediately afterwards. In order to obtain the best results, this should be repeated every 10 days for a total of 6-8 sessions.
