MICRODERMABRASION

A chemical peel uses a chemical solution to improve and smooth the texture of the facial skin by removing its damaged outer layers. It is helpful for those individuals with facial blemishes, wrinkles and uneven skin pigmentation. Phenol trichloroacetic acid (TCA) is used for this purpose.  The precise formula commonly performed for cosmetic reasons -- to enhance your appearance and your self confidence.

One or more days after the peel, the skin will become somewhat red,  swollen, and  flaky (similar to a sunburn).  This usually lasts several days to a week.  During the healing process, the cells that are shed are replaced by a fresh new skin surface. 

Glycolic peels are also available.  Glycolic acid exfoliates the skin leaving it  vibrant and radiant with no downtime.

Microdermabrasion is a progressive, non-invasive treatment that removes the top layer of the skin; dead skin cells. It promotes the production of new cells in the deepest layer of the dermis. It cleans pores and aids in balancing oil production. It stimulates collagen networking to further even out skin texture and tone.

The area is thoroughly cleansed to remove excess oils from the skin. A wand is manually passed over the skin on the face. It gently abrades the surface while a vacuum thoroughly cleanses the skin of impurities. The procedure lasts 15 and 30 minutes. Afterwards a soothing toner is applied to the face, followed with a vitamin C serum and sunblock.
