Vancouver Microdermabrasion Lower Mainland
Microdermabrasion refers to a cosmetic procedure in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion.

Microdermabrasion also stimulates the production of collagen, elastin Collagen and elastin are skin proteins responsible for elasticity, tone and texture. and new skin cells, restoring the skin to a more youthful state.
How Microdermabrasion Works
Anti-Aging Medical & Laser Clinic uses diamond head microdermabrasion. Diamond head microdermabrasion removes damaged, dead skin, using a diamond-tipped wand. Diamond tips in various grades are used to abrade the skin. The process is painless and relaxing, similar to a facial. The skin may tingle and appear pink for a few hours after the treatment, but daily routine can resume immediately.
Unlike other systems which use salt particles or alum oxide (both drying and corrosive), diamond head microdermabrasion adds no foreign particles to your skin, eyes, or lungs, and is far less messy than other treatments that spray corrosive crystals onto the skin's surface.
