Diamond microdermabrasion is a controlled exfoliation of the skin that uses diamond-coated abrasive tips with the negative pressure of a vacuum to resurface the skin.

Microdermabrasion is similar in effect to a chemical peel except the results are immediate and contraindications are generally less due to the physical nature of the exfoliation.

Microdermabrasion can help with fine lines and wrinkles, uneven skin tone, dehydration, and congested skin/pores.

Facial peels incorporate Alpha Hydroxy Acids (AHAs), Beta Hydroxy Acids (BHAs), and other rejuvenating compounds. They are one of the most widely used esthetic procedures used to smooth wrinkles, reduce the effects of sun damage and generally improve the tone and texture of the skin. They are often used for their anti-aging properties.

Because the molecules of these compounds are so small, they easily penetrate the skin and help to loosen the bonds that hold skin cells together--this allows the skin cells to slough off more effectively, leaving the skin feeling softer, smoother and rejuvenated.

Because you need to limit products applied after the peel, peels are offered as stand alone services and not in conjunction with a facial. Peels will yield the best results when done consistently and used in addition to an at-home skin care regimen and sunscreen usage.

AHAs & BHAs can be found in many over the counter facial products, but the products used by licensed estheticians are stronger and should be discussed prior to use. They can also cause sun sensitivity, so sunscreen must be worn after service.
