What Is Sonobrasion?
Sonobrasion is Microdermabrasion combined with Sonophoresis (Ultrasound technology) to improve the overall look, feel, texture and colour of the skin.

The intensity can be varied to suit an individuals skin concerns, from a light exfoliation to deeper resurfacing. Consequently, you see an improvement in skin texture, fine lines, fewer breakouts, refined pores, renewed elasticity, more even colouring and a more youthful appearance.
