HOW IT WORKS ?
Micro dermabrasion is designed to exfoliate away the top surface layers of the epidermis creating a wound healing response within the skin. During the treatment blood flow increases to the areas being treated resulting in a temporary pink glow.
THE WOUND HEALING RESPONSE
The micro treatment triggers a wound healing response from the immune system. Resulting in a renewal and stimulation of connective tissue cells like - elastin collagen & hyaluronic acid .
These cells provide the foundation of a firm skin structure and provide the essential packing material essential for a healthy youthful complexion. Delivering firmness hydration and elasticity.
During the Microdermabrasion treatment the mild suction process gently stimulates blood circulation smoothes and exfoliates the epidermal junction of the stratum corneum removing dead skin cell layers and surface debris.
