FACIAL SKIN RESTORATION

Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is an intensive treatment using special micro crystals to exfoliate and immediately improve the appearance of the skin.  Microdermabrasion works with a vacuum technique which guides pure microcrystals over the upper skin layers.  These crystals abrade the skin by layers according to each individuals needs. The skin care technician is able to control the depth of the microdermabrasion. The impact on the skin regeneration is in depth and yet, the esthetician runs no risk in causing skin damage as they always remains within the epidermal layers.


Glycolic Peel

A glycolic peel is a specific treatment technique for skin renewal. Glycolic peels utilize a mixture of alpha-hydroxy- acids and vitamin C boosters, naturally occurring substances, often referred to as "fruit acids" to smooth out rough, sun damaged skin, lighten pigmentation, reduce fine lines and wrinkles, and diminish appearance of acne scars. The treatment usually takes about 30-45 minutes. The treatment is offered in various levels or strengths depending on your skin type and condition. Glycolic peels remove the damaged layer of surface skin cells revealing fresh skin and stimulating cell rebuilding.
