What is Medical Microdermabrasion?

Medical Microdermabrasion is the perfect pick me up for your skin, giving you a radiant complexion that both looks smooth and feels soft. This treatment is great for all skin types and works on areas of the face and body. It is a quick and gentle method of exfoliating the dull cells without the use of chemicals or laser to leave you with a fresh and bright appearance.

Microdermabrasion is great for treating the following:

• Sun damaged skin
• Acne prone skin
• Mild acne scars
• Blackheads/whiteheads
• Superficial age spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Oily skin
• Dry skin or patchy Skin

The Microdermabrasion Procedure

Medical Microdermabrasion is a painless procedure where extremely fine crystals are sprayed in a controlled flow onto the skin. The crystals exfoliate and remove the dead, outer layer of the skin (epidermis). The treatment typically lasts about half an hour for the face, however, if your treatment includes the neck and upper chest area it may last up to an hour. The treatment is usually repeated twice over the desired areas to ensure all the dead skin is removed. After the treatment, the skin may be slightly pink and feel a little tight. Ideally you should stay out of the sun for 24 hours following the procedure.

Besides a few restrictions, medical microdermabrasion allows you to get back to your daily routine without any delay. Your practitioner will usually recommend a course of treatments taking place approximately every 2 weeks. Once this course is complete, it is advised to have treatments every 1 to 3 months to ensure the fresh, radiant condition of your skin is maintained.
