Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion can refresh dull or uneven skin color, remove blackheads and clogged pores, soften fine lines and rough patches, soften the appearance on some types of scars, and impart a more rejuvenated appearance to the skin.

One session will generally take about 30 minutes. There is no special preparation before the procedure.

  • Increasing circulation for a natural glow
