Exfoliation is a necessary aspect of caring for your skin at any age, but there is only so much benefit to be gained with scrubs and brushes. These methods work on the very outermost surface but do not offer the deep, thorough exfoliation that truly sheds dead and damaged skin cells. Just as running sandpaper over wood can smooth its texture, microdermabrasion can smooth the skin. Sandpaper? That must hurt! Let’s discuss this.
Likening microdermabrasion to sandpapering a piece of wood might not be the most elegant description, but it is relevant nonetheless. Also, even with this descript ..read more

It is not uncommon for spots to appear on the skin as a person ages. These have been called sun spots, age spots, and liver spots. By any name, they are a frustrating problem. For some, spots can present significant concerns due to the potential that they could indicate skin cancer. Fortunately, most discolored patches on the skin are not cancerous. They are often merely a cosmetic concern. They result from years of UV exposure that have caused melanocyte cells to produce more pigment as a protective measure. This increase in pigment, unlike a tan that comes from UV exposure, doesn’t fade. In ..read more
