Microdermabrasion, often referred to as microderm, is a cosmetic procedure popular in day spas, doctors’ practices, medical spas, and salons. During a microdermabrasion treatment, the dead, outermost surface of the skin is partially or completely removed by light abrasion to reveal glowing, younger-looking skin below.
Known as the “lunchtime facial”, microdermabrasion is not painful and requires no anesthetic; additionally, its only post-procedure side effect is a pinkish skin tone which usually disappears within a few minutes or hours depending on the degree of abrasion that took place.

Enjoy the multiple benefits of beautiful, smooth skin for a younger, more vital look with multi-level microdermabrasion. Skin Rejuvenating Epi-Infusion Treatments with Microdermabrasion
Epi-Infusion treatments combine exfoliation with specific skin rejuvenation solutions resulting in healthier, more hydrated skin. The exfoliation promotes the absorption of infusion products such as hydrating serum, salicylic acid and antioxidant solution with vitamin C.
After Microdermabrasion:
You will notice an immediate improvement in the smoothness and brightness of your skin after the first treatment. Skin conditions such as hyper-pigmentation, acne scars, fine lines, and stretch marks will improve gradually after a series of treatments.
You may experience some mild tightening or tingling after the exfoliation but your skin will be very smooth to the touch. Your skin will also have a warm, pinkish glow that can last up to 30 minutes. A light, non-comedogenic moisturizer will help your skin to feel cool and refreshed.
It is important to avoid sun exposure and tanning for a few days, as your exfoliated skin has temporarily lost some of its natural protection. If you are in the sun, be sure to use an anti-oxidant enriched sunscreen.
