Microdermabrasion is a safe, progressive approach to skin care that was developed in Italy in 1987. Using a vacuum and positive pressure, the machine and the specially designed handpiece allow micro-fine crystals to pass over the skin.
As the crystals make contact they gently abrade away a thin layer of the outer skin (dermis). The handpiece then vacuums off the dead skin and crystal particles. This procedure exfoliates the dry, dull skin, while stimulating circulation and collagen production.
Each treatment removes one to two layers of dead skin cells. The depth of treatment is determined by the trained therapist and controlled through the speed of the handpiece, crystal flow and the number of passes.
