Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is principally a deep cleansing, exfoliating technique using a handpiece with embedded diamond chips and an adjustable vacuum.  It is a minimally invasive skin treatment that buffs away the outermost layer of the skin to create a smoother appearance. Blocked pores may also be vacuum cleared.

What can it help with?

Microdermabrasion can assist in the treatment of many problems including clogged, dry or oily skin, dull skin, “smoker’s skin”, blackheads and many others.  It may also be used as a kick-start for improved skincare or other skin improvement procedures.

Are there any side-effects?

After the procedure, the treated area will look flushed due to increased circulation. This subsides quickly and routine skin care can be commenced immediately afterwards.

Is it painful?

Most people quite enjoy the procedure which is done without any requirement for anaesthesia.

How many sessions are recommended?

Microdermabrasion treatment can be performed as a once off, from time to time as part of your skin treatment routine or by performing a few treatment sessions, 4 weeks apart.

Can I combine microdermabrasion with other treatments?

Yes, microdermabrasion if often combined with other treatments, including our Genesis Toning laser, chemical peels and LED.

It is best to book a consultation to discuss your individual skin concerns and goals, and have a personalised treatment plan developed.
