What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive skin resurfacing treatment that gently exfoliates the outer layer of dead skin cells, revealing smoother, brighter, and healthier-looking skin underneath.
This treatment uses a specialized device with a diamond-tipped wand or fine crystals to remove dull surface layers while stimulating collagen production.
At Lujo Aesthetics, microdermabrasion is tailored to your skin’s needs to enhance your complexion and boost confidence. We offer both full facial and express microdermabrasion options to fit your needs and schedule.
