All skin types are good candidates for this treatment, with the single exception of those who have acne. For those who have sensitive skin, it’s a great alternative to chemical peels and microdermabrasion. After cleansing the skin thoroughly, your treatment provider will gently pull the skin tight and lightly run a sterile surgical blade across your face at a 45-degree angle, using short feathering strokes to remove the dead skin cells and fine hair.
