Medical Microdermabrsion

Microdermabrasion is a technical name for what is essentially a deep exfoliating procedure which reduces the appearance of scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, uneven skin tones, and a dull, lifeless, sun-damaged complexion. It is helpful in the treatment of both active acne and acne scarring.

This treatment, suitable for all skin types, is a safe and effective way of exfoliating the skin without using any chemicals or laser.

The machine effects a deep, cleansing massage whereby crystals exfoliate the skin to gently resurface the superficial layers. The vacuum pressure of the treatment is customised according to the client's needs and skin type. The result is a glowing, smooth, even and bright complexion. It is equally an ideal treatment to help you look fantastic for a special occasion or, more seriously, to treat unsightly skin blemishes and acne scarring.

Optimum results are obtained through a series of treatments, typically six to eight treatments, spaced 10-14 days apart. Significant results should be seen in four to five weeks. There are no side-effects to this treatment (which takes about 45 minutes to administer) and no recovery time is required. Mild redness may be present for a few hours after the Microdermabrasion procedure.

We usually combine microdermabrasion with light skin peels. Treatments are tailored to individual patients
