Microdermabrasion

Reveal younger, healthier looking skin from the very first treatment

Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure that uses fine crystals and a vacuum to exfoliate the skin. By removing dead skin cells from the outer layer, the treatment reveals the fresh skin below.

It’s a popular facial treatment. However, you can use it on most areas of your body including neck, chest, back and hands. Reducing fine lines, minor scars, wrinkles, sun damage and age spots to smooth and freshen your skin.

How does microdermabrasion work?

The treatment uses a stream of non-allergenic crystals (crystal microdermabrasion) to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. We use a handheld device to direct the stream of crystal over the treatment area.

The crystals are great for targeting problem areas. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the crystal and skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.

Post-treatment requires no recovery time and you can return to daily activities immediately.

  • 1. Please stop using topical Retinols, Glycolic Acid, Lactic Acids, Salicylic Acid and Tretinoin 5 days before your treatment. This will minimise pain and bruising. However, if you have been established on these for a long time and your skin is likely to flare up without them, you do not need to stop them.

    2. Please stop using any Vitamin E supplements and Ibuprofen/Neurofen 5 days before your treatment. Please do not stop any Aspirin prescribed by your GP.

    3. Botox and fillers should be avoided 4 weeks before and after your treatments.

    4. Please do not drink alcohol 24 hours before and after the procedure. You are slightly more likely to bruise with it.

    5. Make sure you eat something before your appointment and are well hydrated. This prevents feeling light headed during the procedure.

    7. Please attend the appointment alone. There is limited space in the clinic and anybody with you will be asked to wait outside the building.

    8. Please come to the appointment with makeup removed and minimal jewellery.

  • A correctly performed procedure by a fully qualified microdermabrasion therapist will result in nothing more than the skin feeling tight, occasionally with a mild redness.

    These effects will normally subside within 24 hours of the treatment. Sometimes microdermabrasion can trigger a healing crisis in problematic skin, such as an acne breakout in acne sufferers or pimples for those with congested skin.

    This is a sign that the treatment is taking effect. This temporary reaction will subside and great improvements will be seen over subsequent treatments.

  • Microdermabrasion treats a variety of skin conditions including acne and acne scarring, dull and tired skin, pigmentation, blemishes and the effects of ageing skin including wrinkles and fine lines.

  • In as little as 30 minutes a microdermabrasion facial will exfoliate and rejuvenate to reveal more youthful looking skin.

    During a course of treatments, wrinkles and fine lines will disappear, acne and acne scarring will be significantly reduced and dull and tired skin will be restored to glowing health.

  • For darker skin tones, higher intensities can cause an uneven lightening effect.

    We will use a lower intensity treatment at all times on these skin types.

    Pregnant clients should not have treatments due to hormone changes in the body which may cause pigmentation.

    Those who have rosacea or extensive broken capillaries should also avoid microdermabrasion treatments because of the vacuum action.
