1 Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion exfoliating face treatment is one of our most popular skincare treatments at Columbia Laser and Aesthetics! Our medical grade microdermabrasion machine provides a refreshing exfoliation that sloughs of dead skin, dirt, and oil, leaving a youthful glow and exposes healthy skin. You can expect to feel a gritty-type pressure on the face, along with a light suctioning to whisk away the removed skin. There is no pain, and most clients even say it feels good!
Staying on a regimen of microdermabrasion exfoliating face treatment can be extremely beneficial for your anti-aging needs.
Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can help improve the appearance of skin affected by sun exposure, wrinkles, acne, and other conditions.
The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently sand away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it.
