Microdermabrasion uses tiny corundum crystals to buff away the surface layer of the skin. These crystals are swept across the skin at high speed within a treatment tip. The crystals abrade the skin uniformly so that the surface of the skin is "polished" and smoothed. It is like a microscopic exfoliation which leaves the skin glowing. Our Libra™ Microdermabrasion technology uses a closed circuit system, so the technician and patient are not exposed to used crystals.

Treatments can be done 7-10 days apart for a basic Microdermabrasion program. Usually 5-7 treatments are done to improve skin reflectance, tone, and texture.

Microdermabrasion treatments can be done in between elōs™ Synergy skin rejuvenation treatments, helping to remove darkened pigment. This also helps prep the skin for the next skin rejuvenation treatment.

Microdermabrasion is a wonderful adjunct to acne therapy. Regular microdermabrasion keeps the pores unplugged and helps to prevent new acne lesions. The procedure is very tolerable. Most patients describe a light "scratchy" sensation as the crystals are swept across the skin. They may appear slightly pink or flushed for a short period of time after the treatment.

A full face microdermabrasion takes about 30 minutes.
