Microdermabrasion

Dr. Weksberg Servicing Toronto and the GTA, services are for Canadian citizens only.

Microdermabrasion is one the most popular non-surgical aesthetic procedures in Toronto. It is a non-invasive, mild procedure used to gently exfoliate the skin. At The Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology, Microdermabrasion is a safe and simple procedure in which a device forces a stream of air through a tube to which fine micro crystals are added. These crystals are delivered across the skin resulting in polishing effect of the skin's surface. These crystals and dead skin cells are then vacuumed away in one easy motion.

Microdermabrasion at The Weksberg Centre for Cosmetic Dermatology is often combined with other services such as Photorejuvenation and Chemical Peels in order to create a more rejuvenated and enhanced look.
