Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is non-surgical skin treatment which aims to improve the appearance of the skin. It is effectively a mechanical exfoliation of the skin and does not involve the use of either chemicals or lasers.

Microdermabrasion works by removing dead and damaged skin cells which build up over time. These old cells can leave the skin looking old and ‘tired looking’ meaning your appearance is not as good as it could be. Once these old dead cells have been removed, the skin then starts to produce new healthy ones.

Microdermabrasion also cleanses the skin pores and stimulates collagen production, which leads to healthier and smoother looking skin.  


Microdermabrasion can treat many skin conditions and the following lists the most common ones:

  

• Fine lines and wrinkles.

• Acne and acne scars.

• Flaky dry skin.

• Hyper pigmentation of the skin.

• Stretch Marks.

• Sun damaged skin.

 

How does Microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion works by passing a controlled, high speed flow of crystals over the skin. This removes dead and damaged skin cells revealing new healthy cells below, which are smoother and firmer. The procedure also stimulates the skin to produce new collagen which also has an anti-ageing effect. The treatment is painless and there is no recovery period required so you can return back to work/normal activities immediately afterwards. The treatment normally takes around half an hour and some people find it quite relaxing. Although rare, some people occasionally experience microdermabrasion side effects.
 

How many treatments do I need?

Most people will see a slight improvement in the appearance of the skin after the first session but it is normally recommended to have at least 4 treatment sessions to achieve the best results. These treatments can be carried out at 2 week intervals.
