Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion

Our state-of-the-art medical micro-dermabrasion equipment operates by carefully gliding a diamond-encrusted tip across the surface of your skin, effectively eliminating obsolete, lifeless skin cells. This innovative approach presents a remarkably natural alternative to chemical-based or surgical procedures, which often result in prolonged periods of discomfort, irritation, and redness. By optimising the skin’s appearance and establishing a solid groundwork for the regeneration of a more responsive epidermal layer, our medical microdermabrasion and skincare treatments cater to individuals seeking a refined, youthful complexion and enhanced efficacy of subsequent dermal therapies.

what does the medical micro dermabrasion treatment involve?

Our clinical practitioners use a hand-piece to gently pass Diamond encrusted tipover the skin’s surface, resurfacing the superficial layers. As the Diamond encrusted tip contact the skin, they remove old, dead, and flaking skin cells, which are removed by vacuum suction, and the Diamond encrusted tip exfoliate and polish the skin beneath.

Skin affected by acne, scarring and moderate wrinkles due to sun damage and other pigmentation problems can benefit from medical micro dermabrasion. The procedure rejuvenates the skin by removing the dull, lifeless, sun-damaged epidermis and stimulating the production of new skin cells and collagen. Optimum results can be achieved by a combination of medical micro dermabrasion and laser treatments.

Our medical staff are trained to perform medical micro dermabrasion, giving our clients a safe and effective skincare treatment.

What are the benefits of Medical Micro Dermabrasion?

Each medical micro dermabrasion treatment takes approximately 30 minutes. Quite often the benefits of the treatment are apparent after only one treatment, although additional treatments are recommended for more dramatic, long lasting results.

Clients can experience wrinkle reduction, pigment corrections, and a generally more even skin tone and texture.

Will it hurt?

You may feel some slight irritation during the procedure. Following treatment, you may experience a feeling similar to mild sunburn but this can be easily treated with a moisturiser.

When will I see the results?

You should notice an immediate result, although you may want to continue treatments for a more dramatic effect.

HOW DOES A MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL WORK?

A Microdermabrasion facial is a skin exfoliation treatment that smooths and removes the top outer layer of skin. It is performed using natural diamond-tipped wands that rotates to exfoliate the skin (similar to sand paper) with a suction action which hoovers up dead skin cells and unclogs pores. The microdermabrasion process also helps to encourage the production of collagen, which keeps skin firm and young-looking

WHAT ARE THE MICRODERMABRASION BENEFITS?

The main benefit of microdermabrasion is to exfoliate the skin. In removing dead skin cells it can give an overall fresher appearance to the skin, unclogging pores and restoring a glow to the skin. Monthly treatments are recommended to reduce blackheads and blocked pores.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED TO SEE FULL MICRODERMABRASION BENEFITS?

You should notice some improvement straight away*, but we recommend regular microdermabrasion treatments (one every six weeks, lifelong) for full microdermabrasion benefits.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Possible side effects from a microdermabrasion facial include skin irritation and redness. It is not advised if you have very dry or sensitive skin.

IS MICRODERMABRASION FOR ACNE A GOOD TREATMENT?

Microdermabrasion for acne scars can be good but we do not recommend microdermabrasion treatment if you have active acne as the process can spread the acne bacteria throughout the face, instead if you have breakouts we recommend the blue radiance peel which will help control breakouts.

IS MICRODERMABRASION AN ALTERNATIVE TO BOTOX AND FACIAL FILLERS?

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating facial; it will not give the same results as Botox or facial fillers. It may be the case that you require a more advanced treatment such as Botox or dermal filler to achieve your goals; this can be discussed with your aesthetic therapist on the day of your treatment, who will advise.

HOW MUCH RECOVERY TIME IS REQUIRED?

There is no recovery period after a microdermabrasion treatment, although your skin may appear red for several hours afterward.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE AFTER A MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL?

Do not apply makeup for 6 hours after treatment
– Do not apply heat or hot water to the treated area for 12 hours after treatment
– Sunscreen is necessary while in sunlight for 14 days following treatment, this can be purchased in clinic or online, we recommend on which does not clog pores
– Facial moisturiser is recommended to keep your skin hydrated as it can feel very dry after microdermabrasion. We stock a specific moisturiser that we recommend after microdermabrasion as it hydrates without blocking pores and allows the dead skin cells to continue to shed – you will be able to purchase this on the day of your treatment.

Can microdermabrasion effectively treat large pores?

Yes, microdermabrasion is a beneficial treatment for addressing large pores by
promoting the unblocking of congested pores and reducing the presence of
blackheads. It is particularly recommended for individuals with congested or
oily skin types that are prone to pore blockage. To address the issue of
enlarged pores, a combination of medical-grade skincare products such as
Retinol, along with microdermabrasion for pore unclogging and the use of skin
needling to improve the appearance of dilated pores permanently is advised. If
you are unsure about which treatment is suitable for you or how to combine
these treatments effectively, please feel free to request a call back from our
expert team who will be more than happy to provide guidance and advice.
