What Is Medical Microdermabrasion?
Medical Microdermabrasion uses very small aluminum oxide crystals to remove the stratum corneum (top) layer of the skin; the dead skin cells. Over time and with age you develop thicker keratinized skin, making you look old and worn-down. Medical Microdermabrasion removes microscopic layers and stimulates collagen networking to even-out skin texture and appearance, and reduce the appearance of large pores and reduce sun spots.
The frequency and length of treatment will depend on your specific needs. A consultation is Complimentary and has no obligation to you.
What Is difference between regular microdermabrasion and Medical Microdermabrasion?
The microdermabrasion performed in spa uses spa-grade microderm equipment. These serives are not performed or monitored by a physician.

A Medical Microdermabrasion is not available in any spa and can only be performed under the supervision and guidance of a medical doctor.
