Microdermabrasion
R5,500
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that uses a diamond-tip handpiece or a controlled stream of fine crystals to gently exfoliate the outermost layer of the skin while simultaneously vacuuming away dead skin cells. This creates a controlled superficial injury to the epidermis, stimulating the skin’s natural healing response, promoting cell renewal, and encouraging collagen and elastin production. The result is smoother skin texture, improved skin tone, and a reduction in the appearance of fine lines, superficial pigmentation, acne scarring, and other minor skin imperfections.
