It is simple and pain-free and can effectively reduce or eliminate wrinkles, acne, age spots, stretch marks, and more.
What is diamond microdermabrasion in Croydon?
It is a procedure for deep cleansing of the skin. Dead skin cells are abraded and vacuumed off the face with a device that uses tips covered in tiny diamonds. The diamond tips, together with the strong suction, make it possible to cleanse the skin more thoroughly than with other procedures. With the flexibility of using different suction levels, it also increases blood flow to the skin, and that in turn, helps to produce collagen.
