With microdermabrasion, our esthetician uses a diamond tipped tool to remove the top layer of your skin. The wand will physically exfoliate your skin, and the wand’s vacuum sucks away any dirt and dead skin cells. At the same time, the suction element promotes blood circulation and stimulates collagen production.

Since microdermabrasion is a mechanical exfoliation, it removes the top rougher layer of skin to reveal smooth, newer skin underneath. It can also help with age spots, enlarged pores, fine lines and wrinkles, mild acne scarring, and sun damage.

No, this treatment does not hurt. Most describe the feeling of this treatment as a light scratching, like a cat’s tongue or a scrub. You will also feel a tugging from the suction part of the wand. If this is painful, please inform our esthetician so she can turn down the level of suction.

No, there is no downtime. You may have some redness immediately following the treatment, and the suction may cause some light bruising that should resolve within two days.

While you may see some improvement after the first treatment, results will compound over time. Usually, five to eight treatments  paced at least a week apart are recommended for the best results.

Microdermabrasion is $80 for non-members and $65 for members. Packages are available.
