What is Microdermabrasion?
• Medical Microdermabrasion is a gentle and effective
method of exfoliating the skin without the use of chemicals.
• The microdermabrasion device is passed over the skin,
emitting a highly controlled flow of micro crystals to exfoliate
your chosen area.
• They are medical grade crystals made of aluminium
oxide.
What can it do for me?
• Microdermabrasion is great for all skin types and on
areas of both the face and body to restore radiance
• The treatment is typically used to restore and treat:
- Dry or patchy skin
- Oily skin
- Blocked or congested pores (whiteheads or
blackheads)
- Uneven pigmentation
- Sun damaged, dull complexions
- Improve the tone and texture of the skin
How does it work?
• The hand held device is passed over the skin and a highly
controlled flow of micro crystals is emitted to exfoliate your
chosen area.
• The used crystals and dead skin cells are then drawn away
from the skin by a vacuum.
• The treatment stimulates collagen to encourage the
production of new skin cells.
• Usually the treatment takes 30 minutes, or more on larger
areas such as the décolletage and neck.
When will I see results?
• If you do not have any specific problems with your skin,
a microdermabrasion treatment can simply be used to exfoliate away
the dull skin cells instantly leaving your skin feeling smooth and
soft.
• For treatment of mild skin conditions you will be
prescribed a course of treatments in order to achieve the best
results. This will usually be a course of 6 treatments with 2 week
intervals.
• Once your course is complete, it is advised to have
treatments every 1 to 6 months to maintain the results
Who will administer the treatment?
• Your Microdermabrasion treatment will be administered by
one our experienced practitioners.
• You will be able to meet with them before the treatment to
discuss your results and decide on a recommended course of
treatments.
Is it painful?
• Most patients would not describe this procedure as
painful but as always, this depends upon the pain threshold of the
individual. Many do say it is relaxing and much like having a
facial.
• There is no downtime after treatment but you should protect
your skin with a good quality moisturiser and high factor sun
cream.
