  Microdermabrasion

 
 

This treatment exfoliates and polishes the outer layer of the skin to reveal younger, firmer, and more radiant skin.  It also stimulates collagen, giving your skin a more uniform tone.  Medical-Grade Microdermabrasion lightens hyperpigmentation and age spots, reduces fine lines and wrinkles, and minimizes the effects of sun damage and scarring from acne.  Microdermabrasion is one of the most requested non-invasive cosmetic procedures in the U.S. and Europe, and is safe to use on all skin types and colors.
