About this treatment
Microdermabrasion is a professional mechanical exfoliation treatment that uses either fine crystals or a diamond-tip wand to carefully buff away the outermost layer of dead skin cells. By removing this dull surface buildup, the skin can appear brighter, smoother, and more even in tone and texture.
During your treatment at Pure Luminosity Spa, your provider will cleanse the skin and gently pass the microdermabrasion device over targeted areas to polish the complexion. The treatment is non-invasive, does not require anesthesia, and is typically well tolerated, with most clients describing the sensation as a light scratching or gentle suction.
This treatment is a popular choice for addressing rough texture, clogged pores, fine lines, mild discoloration, sun-related dullness, and the appearance of shallow acne scars. Because there is no required downtime, microdermabrasion is an excellent option for routine skin maintenance or a quick complexion refresh before a special occasion.
Clients in Honolulu, HI can expect skin to look immediately more radiant, with continued improvement in smoothness when treatments are performed consistently as part of a customized skincare plan. Your provider may recommend a series of sessions and supportive home care to help maintain your results.
