asktheexperts Q: What are the benefits of microdermabrasion? A: Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, skin resurfacing procedure that exfoliates and polishes away the top layer of dead skin cells while stimulating collagen growth, to reveal healthy new skin that looks and feels smoother. Fine lines, blemishes, dull skin and sunspots can be improved, especially with regular treatments.

These naturally occurring chemicals are the agents of change! They do the heavy lifting in your blood stream, converting the “bad” cholesterol to the “good” cholesterol. —Jeff Meyers, Vice President Terra d’Oro Winery 20680 Shenandoah School Road, Plymouth 209-245-6942, tdowinery.com November 2016 - stylefedh.com 13
