Exfoliation Treatments
Benefits
Some of the primary benefits of exfoliating treatments are softer, smoother skin; cleaner pores; even skin tone; and reduction in blemishes.
Secondary benefits may include reduction in minor acne scarring, early aging fine lines, and hyperpigmentation.
Exfoliation treatments can make the skin more sensitive to the sun's UV rays, so sun protection is recommended.
We generally recommend these services be completed in a series of 6-8 treatments to achieve maximum results.

In the second phase, your skin will build a tolerance to the flaking and will be working to create healthier new cells. In the third phase, your skin will be working to rebuild and restore collagen and elastin for firmer skin and also pigmentation will begin to even out. In the fourth phase, you will enjoy new, healthy skin.
