This treatment follows the same steps of our  ProSkin 60 facial,  with the incorporation of wet/dry microdermabrasion into our cleansing and resurfacing/exfoliation steps, giving an additional 10 minutes of service.  With the ProSkin 60, we have the ability to fully customize the facial products based on the skin type, concerns and goals. With the wet/dry microdermabrasion we also have the ability to select the coarseness of the diamond and vacuum level based your skin texture.

Wet/dry microdermabrasion resurfaces the skin while encouraging lymphatic drainage, improving blood circulation, and stimulating collagen, and is used in conjunction with our Advanced Dermalogica professional skin care.

Wet/dry microdermabrasion uses a diamond-tipped wand that provides a very even and consistent flow of suction. It is considered controlled exfoliation because it uses a diamond-head tip (not crystal), which ensures a consistent amount of abrasion, and we can further customize the exfoliation for differing skin sensitivity levels by using the tip with either a finer/coarser grit.

Our treatment is performed on wet skin through the use of personalized products, then the diamond tip is passed over sections of the face.  Conducting this treatment on wet skin allows for deeper penetration and aids to reduce redness or irritation. 

Microdermabrasion generally suits all skin types, with the exception of clients with sensitive skin, rosacea, eczema or those with delicate/fragile mature skin.  In addition, we are unable to perform this treatments on clients with the following contraindications:

There’s no downtime! Each procedure works progressively, bringing increased skin correction with additional sessions, you can expect a fresher-looking complexion, as dead flaky skin on the surface is removed. It can reduce the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles, soften the appearance of scars, lighten brown spots, decongest acne lesions and pores, and hydrate and exfoliate dry skin allowing a glow to appear. The treatment also stimulates the skin to produce collagen and elastin leading to smoother skin tone and texture.

During a treatment, your skin therapist  will run a handheld device with unique, interchangeable tips across your skin. This will painlessly lift off the outermost dry, damaged layers of the skin, revealing the healthy layers of skin beneath, expect smooth and refreshed appearance of your skin.

After your treatment, you can resume normal activities and your skincare and makeup routine. It is important to follow the instructions of your skin therapist and use any recommended products that are formulated in a regimen.
