Microdermabrasion in Ottawa

What Is Microdermabrasion
And What Can It Do For Me?

Microdermabrasion is a method of mechanical exfoliation that uses a series of tips covered in diamond dust to unveil healthy, brighter skin. Combined with mild suction, these tips gently rough off cellular debris built up on the skin’s surface and remove impurities from the pores. The gentle yet powerful exfoliating action of microdermabrasion promotes healthy new epidermal tissue regeneration.

What Are The Benefits Of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion treatments have been proven to offer benefits to those who have dry, dull, or dehydrated skin, congested pores, fine lines, stretch marks and superficial scarring. It can also increase the absorption of active ingredients by removing dead skin cells. After treatments, patients should experience minimized fine lines, shrunken pores and smoother, brighter skin.

Frequently Asked Microdermabrasion Questions

Am I a Candidate?

The great thing about microdermabrasion is that almost everyone is a candidate. Because it is also highly customizable, virtually all ages and skin types can benefit from it. We do not recommend microdermabrasion for anyone suffering from active psoriasis or rosacea.

What Can I Expect from the Treatment?

Microdermabrasion is the perfect treatment for glowing, radiant skin before an event. While you may experience minor redness immediately after the treatment, this usually subsides within an hour and makeup can be applied after 6 hours.
