Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a skin exfoliation process used to reveal new skin cells which are smooth, soft and receptive to nutrients. New collagen is encouraged, thickening the dermis and improving resistance to the signs of aging.

We now have Diamond Tone - a different kind of microdermabrasion 

What's the difference between this and the Crystal Microdermabrasion we previously offered?

The regular crystal micro dermabrasion technology involves the use of a special, hand-held device that propels a high-speed flow of aluminum oxide crystals onto the skin. At the same time, the machine's vacuum system sucks away dirt, dead cells and used crystals.

The diamond dermabrasion system, on the other hand, replaces the micro-crystal flow with a disposable or reusable diamond tip wand. Areas closer to the eyes and mouth can be abraded more accurately with diamond abrasion (no risk of stray crystals causing damage or being ingested). Other than that, crystal-free microdermabration works in the same way traditional microabrasion does.
