Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses an applicator with an abrasive surface to gently exfoliate the outer layer of the skin. This treatment rejuvenates the skin while targeting sun damage, fine lines, wrinkles, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related conditions.
HYDRADERMABRASION
Learn an advanced, medical-grade resurfacing treatment that clears out pores and hydrates the skin. This non-invasive treatment utilizes different handpieces with multiple technologies. Its many benefits include skin hydration, brightness, plumping, and a clearer complexion. It improves the signs of aging by reducing fine lines and wrinkles, while increasing firmness, evening skin tone, texture and brown spots.
DERMAPLANING
You will learn this advanced exfoliation technique. This physical exfoliation treatment uses a sterilized surgical blade to remove the top layer of the skin which gets rid of dead skin cells and peach fuzz.
MICRONEEDLING
