Microdermabrasion Treatment

During the treatment, the doctor directs a stream of tiny (micro) aluminium oxide crystals through the hand piece that is placed against the skin. These crystals lead to mild exfoliation of the skin. The mild suction created by the system removes the skin debris and crystals.

Multiple treatment sessions are required. Approximately 6 - 8 treatment sessions spaced 2-3 weeks apart are necessary.
