How it works
Terra Spa Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled vacuum, and a medical grade diamond crystal tip to remove the dead, outermost layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.
Microdermabrasion is commonly used to treat and diminish:
- Fine Lines and Wrinkles
- Sun Damaged Skin
- Acne Prone Skin
- Blackheads and Whiteheads
- Superficial Age Spots
- Hyper pigmentation
- Oily Skin
- Dry or Patchy Skin
The procedure is performed by using a hand piece that the Terra Spa esthetician passes over the skin.
This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin.
At the same time the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion and the vacuum. This promotes new collagen which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effects of ageing.
Before and after
Our microdermabrasion procedure takes approximately thirty minutes, depending upon the skin condition, the area to be treated, and the desired outcome.
Many will notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment.
The long-term benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable.

Microdermabrasion vs. Chemical Peels
During both a chemical peel and a microdermabrasion what is happening is a removal of the superficial dead cells of the skin, usually the stratum corneum. Treatments may go deeper than this depending on how aggressive the provider is, however the goal is the same. The methods, however, differ.
