Microdermabrasion is an excellent treatment for overall skin rejuvenation. It can help diminish the early signs of ageing and improve the appearance of sun damaged skin. It can also be used to help to treat acne prone, congested, and oily skin types as well as dry, patchy skin, making it a versatile treatment suitable for all.Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled vacuum suspension of fine, medical-grade crystals, which are gently passed over the skin to exfoliate it. This process can remove 2-5 layers of dead skin, reducing build-up. It also aids in lymphatic drainage and works to promote new collagen production from within.
Microdermabrasion is pain-free with minimal discomfort and has little in the way of recovery time. This treatment is extremely safe and suitable for all skin types
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.
