Microdermabrasion
 
Microdermabrasion (often referred to as Microderm) is a cosmetic procedure in which the stratum cornea (outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. Different methods include mechanical abrasion from jets of zinc or aluminum oxide crystals, or a roughened surface. Particles and removed material are usually suctioned off using a small vacuum attached to a wand. Microdermabrasion is used to remove sun-damaged skin and to remove or lessen scars and dark spots on the skin. The procedure is not painful and requires no anesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. Microdermabrasion can also be used for treatment of acne, but must be repeated periodically to be effective.

Resurfacing with Diamond Tome microdermabrasion provides a gentle, yet deep manual exfoliation with yellow diamonds chip-tipped wands. Dead skin cells are vacuumed away leaving your skin baby soft with a vibrant glow. This treatment improves the texture of your skin and lessens the appearance of large pores, fine lines, hyperpigmentation, and acne scarring.
