Microdermabrasion is a clinically proven technique for treating
fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scars, stretch marks and
hyper-pigmentation. This technology planes and refines skin
texture allowing your skins' natural regeneration process to
diminish imperfections.
This process can result in up to a 30% increase in the
elasticity of the skin restoring confidence to the most visible
part of your body. This non-invasive procedure is performed with a
light suction of fine crystals that look like fine ground sugar.
These crystals are passed across the skin at a high rate of speed
resulting in an abrasion. This process stimulates circulation
beneath the surface of the skin, leaving the skin rejuvenated.
Unlike lasers, there is no generation of heat so the procedure can
be administered on all different skin types. No anesthesia is
required. The process requires no healing time and can be done on
your lunch break. Results are immediate with smooth, glowing skin
and overall tone and texture improvements.
Does it hurt?
The treatment feels like a mild biting sensation, similar to the
feeling of stinging raindrops.
How many treatments will I need to accomplish a new
rejuvenated appearance?
The number of treatments will depend on skin type and condition.
Results are usually immediate; however, an average of 5 or more
treatments, spaced about 2-3 weeks apart, will be necessary to
achieve a dramatic improvement. Maintenance treatments every 4-6
weeks will be required to maintain results.
How long will it take to recover from a treatment?
There is no down time. You'll feel similar to having had a mild
sunburn and feel tightening of the skin. You can apply makeup or
moisturizer on the treated area and return to your day of activity
as normal.
How does it work?
Our unique procedure uses specially formulated sodium bicarbonate crystals that are propelled at a high speed across the skin's surface to efficiently abrade the skin. Microdermabrasion also applies mild suction to the surface of the skin. The result is a dramatic increase in blood flow and circulation throughout the treated area. This stimulates cell renewal and collagen production. In addition, the increased blood flow helps the body carry away toxins and impurities that are stored near the surface of the skin. The combination of exfoliation and increased blood flow leaves you with healthier, clearer and more youthful-looking skin.
Why sodium bicarbonate?
Virtually all microdermabrasion systems use aluminum oxide crystals to abrade the skin. Although aluminum oxide does an effective job of abrading the skin, there are several disadvantages to its use. Aluminum oxide is a known irritant that leaves most people red and irritated after a treatment. Due to the harsh nature of aluminum oxide, it is necessary to keep the treatment a safe distance from the eye and mouth area, leaving the most important areas of the face untreated. Our microdermabrasion system uses pure sodium bicarbonate crystals, pure baking soda, to evenly abrade the skin. Exposure to sodium bicarbonate is not harmful and will not irritate even the most sensitive skin. One of the biggest advantage is that the lips as well as the skin directly under the eye can be treated.
