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.

Chemical Peels in
order to create a more rejuvenated and enhanced look.
