Microdermabrasion Facial

Service Description

Diamond Microdermabrasion is a modern and effective exfoliating method using a diamond-tipped wand to gently remove dead skin cells. Dead skin cells are suctioned off while the negative pressure boosts blood circulation and stimulates cell regeneration. The skin’s appearance becomes finer, the pores smaller and the reproduction of skin cells are stimulated. Nutrients from product penetrate easily because they are easily absorbed into the lower skin layers, speeds up treatment of acne scarring, blackheads, pigmentation, dull/dry skin, stretch marks, fine lines/wrinkles. In addition, this treatment stimulates the creation of collagen and cell turnover. Immediately following a diamond microdermabrasion session the skin will feel smoother and have improved texture. -Facial starts with a double cleansing facial with steam, extractions if needed, diamond tip microdermabrasion is then performed, followed by further facial massage, mask, toner, serums, moisturizer with a facial massage & SPF & lip balm. You will see immediate results after the procedure, but to get the best effect, you will need as many as six to nine treatments.
