Microdermabrasion Treatments in Pittsburgh
Microdermabrasion Treatments in Pennsylvania
Microdermabrasion is a technique for removing the topmost layer of skin, leaving it supple and vibrant. TheDiamondTomeā¢ Wand removes the damaged layer of skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chips while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells. Unlike laser Skin Resurfacing in Pittsburgh or chemical peels, microdermabrasion requires no downtime and is non-invasive. Your skin will have a radiant glow, free of irritation and fine particles.
Microdermabrasion can help to treat a variety of conditions, including sun-damaged skin on the face, neck, or shoulders; age spots on the hands or face; minor to moderate fine lines around the eyes or on the forehead; acne scars; blackheads and whiteheads; hyperpigmentation; and oily skin.
