MICRODERMABRASION

ABOUT MICRODERMABRASION

When you run your hands over your face, does your skin feel soft and smooth or rough like sand paper? If it feels rough, the top layer of your skin may be cluttered with dead skin cells that are making your complexion dull and uneven. Microdermabrasion is a fast and effective treatment that removes the outer layer of damaged and dead skin leaving you with a brighter and healthier complexion.

​

PROCEDURE TECHNIQUE

During the treatment, you will relax in a comfortable chair as your skin is cleaned and prepared. The diamond tipped handpiece will then be passed lightly over your skin to abrade the top layers, bringing new, radiant skin to the surface. Though the treatment feels odd, it should not be painful. The microdermabrasion will be performed evenly over your chosen areas, with more care and sensitivity around the eyes. Once the treatment is complete, your skin will be lightly cleansed to remove any residue, and then a moisturiser and sunscreen will be applied.

​

WHAT TO EXPECT

After a microdermabrasion treatment, you can immediately resume your normal activities, but you need to wear sunscreen or another form of sun protection because your skin will be sensitive. Your face should feel smoother, and your tone should be brighter and more even. To maintain your results, we recommend having these procedures every 4 – 6 weeks. Many patients notice that after their microdermabrasion treatments, their home skin care products (especially serums and creams) absorb more easily into their skin.
