Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin treatment that gently exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells to reveal smoother, brighter, and more even-toned skin underneath. Using a fine crystals or diamond-studded tip, this treatment helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, sun damage, and clogged pores. Suitable for most skin types, microdermabrasion promotes natural collagen production and enhances the effectiveness of skincare products, leaving your skin refreshed and rejuvenated with no downtime.
Dermatologists often use microdermabrasion to help unclog pores and clear acne. They are sometimes combined with gentle glycolic peels and medical acne treatment in Richmond Hill, ON, to help speed up acne clearing. Individuals with deeper acne scars may expect a much longer series of treatments.
