Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that releases microscopic crystals over the face, removing the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and revealing your own glowing, healthier-looking skin underneath. The treatment encourages the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin, leading to more radiant skin. And because it removes dead skin cells, microdermabrasion can also increase the effectiveness of your skincare products. Microdermabrasion is much gentler than dermabrasion, and is often called a "mini-procedure." It takes 20-30 minutes and requires no recovery downtime.
