Acne Discolorations Fine wrinkles Fagesores Dull skin
Method
It is a non-invasive technique that aims to reduce fine wrinkles, improve skin texture, restore elasticity and radiance to the skin. The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is made up of many layers of cells. The most superficial (outer) ones are dead cells, while the deepest ones are cells that mature and rise to the surface.
The purpose of microdermabrasion is to gently remove superficial, dead cells and reveal the deeper layers of the skin, thus offering a revitalized, soft and clean face full of radiance.
We apply a suction device to the surface of the skin that has a metal head at its end that is coated with artificial diamond. When the head rotates, it “scrapes” the skin gently and in a controlled manner. The adapted suction removes the dead cells and sebum that detach from the skin, which remains smooth without crystal residues. There are different heads and degrees of aggressiveness, and depending on the differences of each skin, the treatment that does not cause irritation is chosen.
This is a method of removing dead skin cells, usually from the face, but often from the neck, chest and hands. The removal of dead cells is done mechanically and not chemically (as in peelings).
