Micro-Exfoliation

What is micro-exfoliation?

Micro-exfoliation is the most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin without the use of chemicals. This non-invasive treatment offers safe and controlled skin abrasion.

How does it work?

Our unique procedure uses specially formulated baking soda crystals that are propelled at a high speed across the skin's surface to efficiently abrade the skin. The result is a dramatic increase in blood flow and circulation throughout the treated area. This stimulates cell renewal and collagen production. In addition, the increased blood flow helps the body carry away toxins and impurities that are stored near the surface of the skin. The combination of exfoliation and increased blood flow leaves you with healthier, clearer and more youthful-looking skin.

How is micro-exfoliation different from microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion uses aluminum oxide crystals to abrade the skin. Although aluminum oxide does an effective job of abrading the skin, there are several disadvantages to its use. Aluminum oxide is a known irritant that leaves most people red and irritated after a treatment. Due to the harsh nature of aluminum oxide, it is necessary to keep the treatment a safe distance from the mouth and eye area leaving the most important areas of the face untreated. The micro-exfoliation process uses pure baking soda crystals to evenly abrade the skin. Exposure to baking soda is not harmful and will not irritate even the most sensitive skin. One of the biggest advantages of using baking soda is that the lips as well as the skin directly under the eye can be treated.

Does a micro-exfoliation treatment hurt, and will I have down time?

Micro-exfoliation is a relatively painless procedure. Immediately following the treatment your skin will have a vibrant, healthy appearance as well as a smooth texture. Our unique baking soda treatment will allow you to resume you day without any downtime.

Am I a good candidate for micro-exfoliation?

Virtually anyone interested in improving the appearance of his/her skin can benefit from micro-exfoliation regardless of age, ethnicity or skin type. Micro-exfoliation is most commonly performed on the face but can also be safely performed on the chest, hands and back as well as other areas of the body.

How often will I need a treatment?

Treatments are performed usually in a series of six with the first three treatments scheduled once per week and the next three appointments at two-week intervals. Once the desired results are achieved, maintenance treatments can be performed once every four to six weeks.
