Medical microdermabrasion
We offer the FDA approved medical microdermabrasion. We use natural diamonds- the toughest known substance to man, to polish the skin and remove surface layer of dead skin cells. Although results are noticeable after just one session- we recommend a series of these treatments to produce best results.
This is truly a no-downtime procedure which can be fitted in your lunch hour. It can also be combined with other procedures that we offer. This is a very cost effective procedure and ideal for people who would like something more than lotions and potions but are not ready or do not want laser, botox, fillers or chemical peels.

What is Skin Resurfacing?
Skin resurfacing is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture
and color by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple
and vibrant. Skin resurfacing also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath
the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.
A wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical peels, the Diamond
microdermabrasion treatment is non-invasive, pain-free and requires
no down time after treatment.
The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending
on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective.
Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment.
Made of surgical grade stainless steel, each wand tip is embedded with
natural diamond chips sifted to the exact micron size. Wands are available
in different micron chip sizes to insure proper resurfacing for each
individual's skin type. Selecting the appropriate diamond-wand, along
with the adjustable vacuum, allows for a controlled abrasion of the
skin. Recent studies have demonstrated about 45% thickness in skin after
a series of microdermabrasion procedures. It also kick starts the skin
regeneration process.
Why Diamond microdermabrasion?
The ancient Egyptians are said to be the first to use
dermabrasion skin care techniques to improve their skin. Kings and queens
used alabaster and pumice to remove blemishes and rough spots and make
their skin smooth and soft. In the mid-90's a skin care technique using
aluminum oxide powder for microdermabrasion was developed in Italy. The
process uses vacuum and a small orifice to accelerate the powder. Aluminum
oxide abrades the skin and the vacuum cleans out blocked pores. Some machines
use salt crystals to abrade the skin but salt crystals are uneven and
soft.
Diamond microdermabrasion is the latest form of this treatment and has
following advantages over crystal microdermabrasion.
1. No crystals left imbedded in the skin and floating around in the air.
2. No environmentally hazardous material to dispose of after each procedure.
3. No crystals left in the hair and clothes of both the patient and clinician.
4. No need to wear a particle mask or eye protection or remove contacts.
5. No crystals to cause irritation in eyes and airways after the procedures.
Who Can Benefit?
Diamond skin resurfacing offers benefits to anyone who wants to improve specific skin conditions and rejuvenate the overall health and appearance of their skin.

back, arms and legs
*Reduce age spots
*Minimize blotchy skin coloring
*Reduce acne and superficial scars from past injury.
*Extract blackheads and whiteheads
*Stretch marks
*Improve overall skin health
For people on the go, a exfoliation treatment using the
Diamond medical microdermabrasion offers exceptional benefits. Ideal for
a special event or as a program for overall skin rejuvenation, this treatment
is non-invasive, painless and requires no downtime from work or social
activities. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after treatment.
Your skin is free of redness, irritation and particle contamination.
Who should not have it?
You should not have a microdermabrasion treatment if
you have recent herpes outbreak, warts, active weeping acne (stages 3-4),
active rosacea, unstable diabetes, auto-immune system disorders, recent
laser surgery, recent start of Retin A, recent medium/ deep chemical peel,
recent waxing, and if prone to hyper pigmentation. Active eczema, dermatitis,
psoriasis, vascular lesions (haemangiomas or “port-wine-stains)
and telangiectases (“broken capillaries”). You must not have
it if you are HIV or hepatitis B or C positive. Bleeding disorders, warfarin
and aspirin therapy are relative contraindications. Accutane therapy should
have been stopped at least 2 months before the procedures.
How often to have it?
Clients should come for a treatment every two weeks. A proper skin care program combined with microdermabrasion is key and will augment and enhance the results of the treatment. A series of 6-12 treatments can be carried out. After this you can have maintenance treatments once every three months. The fact that microdermabrasion is performed in a series of treatments allows the clinician to gradually and safely take the skin to new levels of health and beauty without compromising its delicate nature.
What is oxygen facial?
After the microdermabrasion procedure, we apply a mask to your face and can turn up the oxygen flow in order to give you a complete "Oxygen Facial".
The oxygen oxidizes the oily sebum found inside the pores, helping to eliminate the oil as a food source for bacteria which have a role in active acne.
What preparation is necessary?
Stop following at least 5 days before and after the procedure
Chemical depilatories
Electrolysis/waxing
Lofah sponges/facial brushes
Facial scurbs, masks
Alpha hydroxy/glycolic acid/salicylic products
Topical retinoids
Sulfur/sulfa medications
Benzoyl peroxide medications
No tanning of any kind during the series of treatments.
Do not wear make-up during the day of treatment.
What happens after the treatment?
1) Skin will be pink and renewed
2) Skin may be dry and flaky, it's a sign that the skin is repairing it
self. Do not use Glycolic, RetinA, exfolients or astringents for five
days after treatment.
3) Avoid direct exposures to the sun, sauna, hot tubs, Jacuzzi and tanning
beds
4) Daily use of SPF 25 or higher is highly recommended.
5) Use the recommended After Care Products.
Experiencing initial dryness, flaking, and a feeling of a mild sunburn
is a normal result of the procedure. Excessive swelling or pain must be
reported, because it may indicate the onset of an infection. Combined
UVA and UVB sun protection should be used to prevent potential hyper pigmentation.
In addition, the skin should be kept well hydrated. Makeup can be applied
immediately if there is no weeping in the treated area. You may experience
some crusting from dried serum after aggressive microdermabrasion when
performing superficial scar revision or stretch mark treatments.
