Microdermabrasion offers instant gratification with little or no downtime.  Your skin is immediately softer and smoother with a more even texture.  Your skin care serums will penetrate more easily and your makeup will go on more smoothly.

The season is changing and so is your skin.  Fall is a great time to consider getting a professional chemical peel.

Exfoliation comes in all shapes and sizes.  Scrubs, loofahs and pastes are all options but one modality whose results never let us down professionally is a chemical exfoliation, commonly known as a “peel”.  Whether it’s lactic,  mandelic or salicylic acid, or even a potent blended enzyme, a superficial chemical peel is a trusted approach for acne reduction, the minimization of fine lines or simply restoring a healthy glow.
