Microderm Abrasion - This is a fantastic skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. The technician uses a device like a fine sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin.
