Overview
The Vie Collection Micro-D Exfoliation provides an advanced mechanical exfoliation experience inspired by dermatological microdermabrasion—without the use of machines. It gently resurfaces the skin using a blend of professional-grade polishing particles combined with nourishing modelling butter and botanical extracts. This treatment smooths wrinkles, refines texture, and boosts radiance, leaving skin soft, clear, and luminous.
