Microdermabrasion

At Relax & Renew Spa we use state of the art Technology by Libra Microdermabrasion. The most aggressive form of skin resurfacing without 'downtime'!

Gentle abrasion to remove dead skin cells and unblock clogged pores.

Microdermabrasion is perfect for removing sun damage, pigmentation, and for softening of the fine lines and wrinkles. The microdermabrasion crystals, (corundum crystal, the second hardest mineral known to man), are used to remove a deeper layer of skin.

'Crystal Free' Microdermabrasion

This treatment is the newest technique in skin rejuvenation. Crystal-less skin resurfacing is ideal for dry, mature, or discolored skin types. A disposable stainless steel tip with an abrasive end is used to exfoliate the surface layer of skin. Overall results include a vibrant, regenerated and improved skin tone, color, look and feel.

A great complement to skin rejuvenation or as a stand alone treatment.

Treatment is non-invasive, quick and painless!

Q: What is Microdermabrasion?

A: Microdermabrasion is a skin rejuvenation procedure which smoothes wrinkles and fine lines, improves the appearance of scars, reduces the size of pore, and helps improve age and sun spots. It can be described as an intense mechanical exfoliation treatment which removes the top layer of the skin.

Q: Does Microdermabrasion hurt?

A: No, it does make your skin sensitive to the sun and elements after, but sunblock and moisturizers will protect and hydrate the new skin.

Q: How does Microdermabrasion work?

A: A controlled spray of very fine aluminum oxide is applied to the surface of the skin, removing the upper layer of the epidermis. While emitting the spray, the device simultaneously works to clear excess oxide crystals and the skin's cellular debris. This process helps the skin cells to stimulate new collagen, resulting in increased skin firmness and tone, revealing a fresh youthful looking face.

Helps to reduce:

Fine Lines and Wrinkles

Scars That Have Resulted From Acne, Surgery or Even Chicken Pox

Enlarged Pores

Age Spots

Q: What To Expect After a Microdermabrasion Treatment?

A: There is no downtime involved with this procedure, though microdermabrasion patients are asked to wear sunscreen after treatment, as skin will be extra sensitive to light. Immediately following treatment, the skin will have a slightly pink hue, creating a fresh look. Self-conscious patients can easily camouflage the redness with makeup. Skin imperfections are diminished and the skin seems softer and rejuvenated. The best results come to patients who continue a series of microdermabrasion treatments over time.

Q: Is MicroDermabrasion similar to a chemical peel?

A: Yes, both treatments rid the skin of the top layer of cells. MicroDermabrasion is done by physical means while a peel uses chemicals to remove surface cells.

Q: Will Microdermabrasion treatments give an improvement in the skin texture?

A: Yes, a series of treatments will make the skin smoother, softer, and with less fine wrinkles.

Q: How many treatments are needed?

A: To obtain optimal results, a series of 6 rejuvenating treatments spaced 1 week apart is recommended. Continued improvement is best achieved with maintenance treatments every 4 to 6 weeks.
