What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion Elizabethtown KY Microdermabrasion is a technique for removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. Dr. Hargan uses the DiamondTome™ Wand, an evolution in microdermabrasion technology. The high-end, medical grade, state-of-the-art DiamondTome™ Wand removes the outer layer of skin by gently exfoliating the skin with natural diamond chops, while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of dead skin cells leaves a smoother texture and promotes the growth of healthy new skin cells.
