Microdermabrasion for Young Skin and Brides

Microdermabrasion: Not just for mature skin

An excellent advanced exfoliation method. Not only is Micro for mature skin types to decrease fine lines and wrinkles by stimulating blood circulation and promoting collagen production but it is also great for those with young skin.

Young skin benefits from Micro because it promotes healthy skin turnover, reveals a smoother complexion and rids the skin of any build up of dead skin cells.

Perhaps your regular exfoliant isn’t giving you the same results as it once was, or the change in season has made your skin breakout or even become dry in some areas.

A Micro treatment will help with those skin conditions and more:


  • Reduce the appearance of large pores due to acne and hormones
  • Remove uneven skin textures and skin tone
  • Promote healthy cell turnover and promote anti-aging
  • Help your other skin products penetrate deeper
  • Create a smoother base for your makeup base or foundation.
  • Start the healing process of acne; regulates sebum production.

Why Microdermabrasion is so great for Brides.

Microdermabrasion is a process where tiny particles of ground sapphire (aluminum oxide) are gently blown onto the skin to remove the build up of dead skin cells. A gentle vacuum action pulls dirt and impurities out of pores, clarifying your complexion, oxygenating
your skin cells and giving you that youthful, glowing skin that every bride dreams about having on her wedding day (and in her wedding photos !) Microdermabrasion is so great at exfoliating the skin, make-up artists have started to refer their clients to have a Microdermabrasion treatment anywhere from a week to a couple of days before their wedding. This will create a smooth, even palate for the make-up artist to apply foundation on. The foundation goes so smoothly onto the skin that it creates an “air brushed” look. Your make-up will be flawless, never caked or flaky. For a bride that wants to look her absolute best in her wedding photos, Microdermabrasion is the perfect way to achieve it.
