An Overall Rejuvenated Appearance

This type of treatment is going to quickly and effectively improve the overall appearance of your skin, making it appear much healthier and radiant. Your skin will look and feel great after this facial!

How It Works

The device used in this type of treatment uses fine crystals that will deeply exfoliate the skin. Even those deeper layers of the skin can be penetrated during this type of treatment to maximize the benefits. During the process, the device is used on the surface of the skin, polishing away dead skin cells and increasing cell turnover.

The crystals work to improve the overall appearance of the skin without surgery or injections. The device works to massage skin, increasing blood flow that in turn can boost the body’s natural collagen production. The treatment provides smoother, firmer skin that appears vibrant and younger!

What To Expect During Treatment

During your treatment, your skin would be cleansed before the device is used to ensure that there is no makeup, oil, or dirt leftover. Then, the device is applied directly to the surface of the skin. Those who have had this type of treatment in the past have compared the sensation to that of a facial massage. The device is applied for a period of time and the dead skin cells are safely sanctioned off of the surface.

After the area has been properly treated, sunscreen and moisturizers are applied to the skin. And, that’s it. After that, you are free to go on about your day as you normally would! There is absolutely no downtime or pain associated with this type of treatment! It’s quick, simple, and highly effective!
