Best Skin Treatments for Summertime

While skincare products can go a long way in helping you achieve glowing skin at home, there are professional treatments that are proven to achieve remarkable results in as little as one visit.

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic service that is very effective at exfoliating the surface of the skin to reveal a more glowing appearance immediately. This procedure promotes the growth of new, healthy skin by working with the body’s natural healing process to stimulate collagen production. It is a noninvasive procedure that can be repeated as many times as necessary with little to no downtime after. Patients are advised to limit sun exposure during the healing process, so schedule according to vacation plans and be diligent with SPF application – bonus points for wearing sun protection accessories!
