Do you have a dull or uneven skin tone? Microdermabrasion is the best treatment for you. Microdermabrasion treatment is a non-invasive procedure that removes dead skin to leave you with a healthier skin complexion. This procedure is a mechanical way of exfoliating, which can be combined with other exfoliating techniques (i.e. chemical peel).
What’s so good about a microdermabrasion facial? As a microdermabrasion clinic, we recognize how microdermabrasion treatment is safe for any skin type to improve the appearance of wrinkles, fine lines, sun damage, age spots, acne spots, stretch marks, Melasma, and other skin related concerns and conditions.
At Sunlight Laser Clinic, we use two different microdermabrasion machines: The diamond tips microdermabrasion and the hydra dermabrasion machines.
Diamond crystal is the most advanced technology in the market that resurfaces the skin while introducing (infusing) a topical serum into the skin. The diamond microdermabrasion machine has different tips that work stones—with various intensities from soft to hard—to scrub the dead layers of the skin. It includes a suction that works like a vacuum to suck up dead cells.
We also use the hydra dermabrasion machine for our microdermabrasion treatments to cleanse and exfoliate the skin! The function includes 3 steps to exfoliate, cleanse, and extract the skin, followed by infusion of hydrating serum and active ingredients. This type of extraction is a great and pain-free way to extract sebaceous deposits and black/whiteheads, compared to manual extractions.
