Treatments

Microdermabrasion, at Safire Medical Spa, uses small particles to smooth the skin's surface, which equalizes skin tone, and reduces the appearance of wrinkles and acne scars.

The procedure gently exfoliates the topmost layer of skin relieving congestion in the skin and reducing pore size while drawing out blackheads and whiteheads.
