At Heather Johnson Studios we use the SkinBorn S-100 Microdermabrasion machine from Aesthetics Medical. The machine allows the technician to deeply and safely resurface the skin. Due to the depth of the deep resurfacing power of the S-100, advanced training and certification is required. Extensive research was conducted in the choosing of this equipment. At Heather Johnson Studios state-of-the-art equipment is required for our client’s benefit.

What Is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a procedure that involves the skin being "sandblasted" by aluminum oxide crystals to remove the stratum corneum which is the dead, top layer of the skin.  Microdermabrasion also promotes the production of new cells in the basal (deepest) layer of the dermis. Microdermabrasion also stimulates collagen net working to further even out skin texture and appearance. A series of treatments can produce skin that is radiant, supple and youthful.

Are You a Candidate For Microdermabrasion?
The microdermabrasion procedure can improve blackheads, whiteheads, fine wrinkles, sun-damaged skin and superficial age spots. All skin types can benefit. Clients notice improvement in the texture and appearance of the skin. Many are able to stop wearing makeup.

Does Microdermabrasion Hurt?
Microdermabrasion does not hurt.  Your skin may feel a little hot and appear a little pink for the first day.

How many times does the procedure need to be performed to
achieve results?
The average person requires between 6-8 treatments spaced 1-2 weeks apart to see results. Many clients choose to have the procedure monthly as a maintenance treatment.
