Pristine Dermabrasion® employs a controlled scraping technique to refine the top layers of the skin, effectively softening the sharp edges of surface irregularities and imparting a smoother, more polished appearance to the skin. This utilizes authentic laser-cut diamond-tip applicators to exfoliate the skin's surface, simultaneously employing a delicate suction feature to promote collagen and elastin production, as well as enhance blood circulation.

What should I expect?
First, an initial consultation is conducted to understand your goals, assess your skin needs, and determine the number of microdermabrasion sessions required to begin the treatment.
Once you arrive for each session, our friendly staff will guide you through the check-in process and accompany you to the treatment room. Using a handheld device, your practitioner will delicately remove the outer layer of skin, concentrating on the specific areas discussed during your consultation.
Is the treatment painful?
Not at all. Although you may experience a gentle tugging sensation on your skin, the treatment is completely non-invasive, virtually painless, and necessitates no downtime. With Pristine, you can relax and indulge in a comfortable and serene treatment experience.
Is it safe? Are there any side effects?
Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective treatment suitable for all skin types. The exfoliating crystals used are extremely fine and pose no risk of damaging your skin. Since the procedure does not involve any incisions or anesthesia, there is no chance of scarring or infection. Potential side effects of microdermabrasion may encompass temporary redness and swelling, which typically subside within a few hours. Following that, you may notice flakiness and dryness in the skin for several days. There is also a low risk of minor bruising that could result from the suction that will disappear in a few days.
When to expect results and how long will the effects of this treatment last?
Results can be seen and felt after your initial treatment with an improvement in skin texture and appearance. Your results can have a lasting effect for months, and to preserve them, our providers can suggest a suitable skincare regimen to keep your skin hydrated and adequately shielded from environmental factors. To achieve the best possible results, additional treatments is recommended.
How long is the treatment session?
The treatment typically lasts for less than 30 minutes. Feel free to ask questions or share any concerns you may have during your appointment; we encourage open communication throughout the process.
Following your initial microdermabrasion session, you can anticipate witnessing brighter and more vibrant skin.
How many sessions do I need?
The frequency of your treatments will be tailored to your individual skin type, conditions, and goals. As a general guideline, we typically advise scheduling a microdermabrasion treatment every 2-4 weeks for a series of 3-6 sessions. Afterward, we recommend seasonal treatments to maintain your results, promote good skin health, and keep your skin glowing!
