Microdermabrasion at Boston Electrology & Skin Therapies
The most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin without chemicals or laser. Using corundum powder (crystals) to finely resurface superficial skin layers your face will appear more radiant and youthful, and feel smoother to the touch.
How It Works
Microdermabrasion is a skin care procedure designed to remove imperfections including:
- scars
- age spots
- acne and fine lines
- Also helps improve the appearance of sun damaged skin by gently abrading the skin surface utilizing micro-fine crystals, sometimes called planing. This allows for a deep exfoliation without causing further damage to the skin.
