What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a pleasant skin-refreshing technique that helps repair sun damage, pigmentation and the effects of aging on the skin. For microdermabrasion at Vancouver Laser & Skin Care Centre, we use the Dermasweep. This is one of many non-surgical cosmetic procedures performed by our highly trained skin specialists that offer no downtime.
How does it work?
The Dermasweep microdermabrasion gently buffs and polishes the skin to achieve a healthy glow. The nylon and silk bristles combined with a controlled vacuum suction, gently exfoliates the top damaged layer of skin.
