Microdermabrasion is the latest scientific method to help mechanically exfoliate your skin to stimulate the growth of healthier skin. VOGUE and ELLE have referred to it as the lunch time peel because it requires no down time and just one half hour to better looking skin.


At Chandni's Spa & Salon, we use the aluminum oxide crystals and organic buffing grains with Light Touch Microdermabrasion machine. We use a delicate hand piece that we smooth over your treatment area to help resurface the skin. With our microdermabrasion machine we remove all the dead and flaking layers of skin to help stimulate healthier and brighter skin.


All skin types and color will benefit from this process. Aging, congested, flaky, dry, devitalized, thickened, blemished, dull, and sun damaged skin will be rejuvenated and refreshed. Blotchiness, uneven skin tones and texture will be improved. Microdermabrasion will reduce the appearance of fine lines, acne scars, hyperpigmentation, chicken pox scars, brown/age spots, fine-lined wrinkles (rhytides), hyperkeratosis (overgrowth of the horny layer), pores less prominent, and other skin imperfections.


This is a gentle and quick application with virtually no discomfort and no down time. No time off from work is required. Normal activities can be resumed immediately. However, be aware that physical activities resulting in perspiring may cause a stinging affect to the treated area. Microdermabrasion is a controlled, non-invasive, non-acid, non-surgical, non-laser, non-chemical peel.


The most common areas treated are the face, neck, decollege, shoulders, back, hands, knees, and elbows. However, any skin surface, on any part of the body, that needs improvement will benefit.


Approximately every 28 days we receive a new layer of skin. As new cells form below the skin surface and mature, pushing their way up tot he top, dead cells settle on the surface. This can cause enlarged pores, clogged pores, a bumpy, uneven texture, and a dull appearance. As we age, the natural process of new skin cells replacing older skin cells begins to slow down, leading to the appearance of older skin with less radiance. Regular microdermabrasion helps prevent these problems as well as improve skin tone and texture.


This gentle technique of exfoliation is performed with a jet of fine mineral crystals passing over the skin's surface and is then vacuumed up with the dead/damaged skin cells. The crystals gently exfoliate approximately 20-25 microns of dead skin cells of the outermost layer of skin cells (stratum corneum), revealing one's own fresher, younger skin beneath. One microdermabrasion treatment can be equal to three 30% glycolic treatments (or one 70% glycolic). The controlled aspect means one can choose the exact area to be treated, as well as the depth and duration of treatment.


Microdermabrasion is progressive, not aggressive. Generally, results are realized after the fourth, fifth, or sixth treatment. Some conditions, such as severe acne scars, may need as many as 16 treatments. After the first treatment, the skin will appear fresher, cleaner, smoother, and softer for some clients. Average treatment protocol is 4-12 treatments. Initially, treatments may be performed every 7-10 days or every 2 weeks, based on the clients' tolerance and needs. Ideally, then monthly maintenance to continue the benefits, as skin cells mature approximately every 28 days.


Since there is minimal discomfort and no healing time, one is able to resume normal activities immediately following the procedure. One may experience a slight tingling sensation during the treatment but no anesthesia is necessary. Afterwards, the skin may feel tighter, as if exposed to the sun or wind. It may also appear flushed, a fresh pink/rosy glow or minimal redness (superficial erythema), which usually disappears within a few minutes to a few hours (occasionally up to 24 hours to resolve but may last up to 48 hours, depending on his/her particular skin and the depth of treatment). While the skin may be more sensitive in certain areas, minimal discomfort is involved. Dryness of the skin is frequently observed following the treatment but is alleviated with the appropriate moisturizer.


By removing the dead skin cells found in the stratum corneum or ‘horny layer', thus diminishing the appearance of fine lines, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, etc. (It is like planing down the mountains, so the valleys are less noticeable). Also anything done following microdermabrasion will work better; extractions will be easier. There is no sense in applying moisture to dead skin cells…like putting cream on your feet without taking your shoes off.
