Skin Resurfacing Treatments
Here at SkinBase we have a range of skin resurfacing treatment options. Let’s take a look.
Microdermabrasion
SkinBase Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that removes the top layer of skin to improve the skin’s appearance. A handheld wand delivers a stream of gentle crystals over the area before a mild suction draws any debris away. The fresh skin underneath shines through. This dual action resurfaces the skin while stimulating blood flow to the area. This action boosts collagen and elastin production. Each time you have a treatment, the deeper levels will be reached clearing pores and removing any acne scars. Wrinkles will appear smoother.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Depending on your needs, Microdermabrasion can target specific skin conditions to give a smoother complexion. The wand exfoliates skin to restore younger-looking skin without any downtime. It is non-invasive and convenient.
