Microdermabrasion
Rejuvenate your skin
As we age, our skin pigmentation can become uneven. For those who feel self-conscious about their changing skin, microdermabrasion is an effective treatment that leaves your skin looking rejuvenated.
This is an innovative, non-invasive treatment which gently exfoliates the skin, to remove the dead skin cells resulting in a brighter, smoother complexion. It also improves the appearance of dull, congested skin, plus improves sun damaged skin, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring and melasma.
This treatment can be performed in isolation or it can be incorporated into one of our many prescription facials, specifically targeted to tackle your own skin concerns.
Microdermabrasion
What to expect
Using a handheld device, our friendly Aesthetician will spray tiny crystals onto the skin of the target area. As these crystals are vacuumed away, they gently exfoliate the skin’s surface, removing the outer layer. Once the treatment is complete, appropriate cosmeceutical products will be applied to your skin to keep it hydrated and protected.
Other than the lovely natural results, another really positive aspect of this treatment is that it’s pain-free. However, if you do experience any discomfort during the treatment, let your Aesthetician know and they can adjust the intensity or slow it down.
Due to the gentle nature of the treatment, there is minimal downtime afterwards. You’ll be able to resume your normal daily activities immediately, just ensure you keep your skin hydrated and use gentle skincare products.
