In the past, heavy-duty CO2 Lasers, chemicals & strong glycolic acid peels were used with considerable down time & discomfort. Today’s state-of-the-art mechanical & chirally correct non-acid peels are a pleasure to experience without down time & with beautiful, long lasting results. Professional Medical Grade Microdermabrasion Using micro fine corundum crystals (innert crystals that are related to the ruby & saphire family) delivered through a specialized wand with contolled vacuum suction, your surface layer of dead skin cells are effectively removed, while your fibroblasts are stimulated to increase collagen synthesis.  Professional Microdermabrasion also assists in the reduction of any facial puffiness by moving the lymph fluids in your face. Customized serums, masks & protection are also part of this amazing treatment. Where appropriate, a chirally correct Skin Fitness Peel can be combined to take your skin to the next level of effectiveness. This upgraded treatment is called Medical Microdermabrasion. Professional Microdermabrasion is a results focused, high tech procedure that is ideally suited if you are showing early signs of skin aging, sun exposure, congested skin (milliagrains, whiteheads, blackheads etc) and other facial imperfections. Non-invasive to your skin's surface, this comfortable procedure has no down time or recovery. It is normal to experience some rosiness up to one hour after the procedure. In addition to your face, microdermabrasion can be successfully used to rejuvenate the skin on your neck, arms and hands.

It is important to note that if the machine being used doesn’t have suction, it is not “true” microdermabrasion. Inexpensive rotary machines for home use that utilize abrasive creams provide surface sanding only & can actually cause more damage as too much pressure is often used, resulting in increased redness, dehydration & broken facial capillaries.
