What Areas Can Be Treated?
Microdermabrasion is most commonly performed on the face, neck, and chest, but may also be performed on the arms, hands, and back.
How does it work?
Microdermabrasion uses two modalities: exfoliation and suction. This exfoliation and suction process lifts and removes dead skin cells and debris from the skin/pores. It tightens and helps even out skin tone and texture. It can reduce blackheads and whiteheads and can freshen and brighten the skin. It also can stimulate the skin to produce more collagen and elastin.

Commonly Asked Questions
What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion has been medically approved to help with many skin conditions. Microdermabrasion activates the collagen fibers in the skin through increased stimulation and circulation therefore enhancing skin appearance and texture. The thorough exfoliation improves and lightens hyperpigmentation (brown spots), helps rid skin of fine lines, improves the appearance of acne scarred skin, aids with the treatment of acne, and improves the appearance of new “pink” stretch marks. After a revitalizing microdermabrasion treatment, the rejuvenated skin is visibly healthier and more vibrant.
