Organic Microdermabrasion
We are the only place in Glen Allen and Richmond that offers Organic Microdermabrasions! We use only the purest Sodium Bicarbonate Crystals (Baking Soda)!
Our microdermabrasions are the most natural way to evenly and safely exfoliate the skin. Our Organic Micodermabrasion System uses a high purity baking soda (Sodium Bicarbonate Crystals) instead of Aluminum Oxide Crystals. We are the only spa in Glen Allen and the Richmond surrounding area that has this system!
Sodium Bicarbonate vs. Aluminum Oxide
Aluminum Crystals have been documented to irritate the skin and throat, cause scratchy eyes, allergic reactions, respiratory problems and in some instances produce low-grade fevers. There are numerous studies published by various independent Health Journals and the US government about the health hazards associated with long-term exposure to fine aluminum oxide dust. Credible and unbiased information is widely available for anyone who really wants to know the truth about aluminum exposure risks. Microdermabrasion service providers that continue using aluminum oxide are increasingly finding themselves in an awkward position of having to defend its questionable safety record to an increasingly aware public.
Sodium Bicarbonate Crystals, on the other hand, are lighter, softer on the skin and less irritating. This natural composite achieves better results than aluminum oxide with none of the harsh side effects. As a matter of fact the sodium we use are alkaline, adding a natural pH balance to the clients skin while destroying bacteria on the epidermis. In addition, baking soda crystals are friendly to the skin and to the environment. They easily dissolve when they come into direct contact with moisture. Baking soda crystals do not leave undissolved particles trapped in pores or follicles. Any post-treatment residue easily blends in with body chemistry and tones the skin.
Unlike cosmetic surgery and other invasive skin enhancing treatments, which cost thousands of dollars, microdermabrasion is just a fraction of the cost. Microdermabrasion can improve or eliminate superficial skin problems. This skin rejuvenation procedure stimulates the production of new skin cells that contain higher levels of collagen and elastin which further improve the skin's appearance. As cell turnover is increased and a more youthful appearance is achieved.
