Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a process of gentle mechanical exfoliation of the skin.
During the process the surface stratum corneum is gently removed along with excess oil and impurities and in the process healthy skin is revealed and pores are unblocked.
The gentle suction device ensures that blackheads, whiteheads and surface blemishes are a thing of the past.
Your therapist will discuss your individual concerns and cleanse your skin thoroughly. The dermabrasion device, which has a small pad covered in diamond fragments, will then be used to perform the treatment. This will be followed by a hydrating or peptide mask. To finish, Jan Marini moisturiser and sunscreen will be applied. At the end of the treatment your skin will be soft, smooth and glowing. Occasionally your skin may feel tight or dry and this generally settles quickly. You will be asked to avoid swimming and sun exposure for at least 24 hrs.
Almost anyone can have microdermabrasion. It is especially useful in patients who have congested skin with blackheads, whiteheads and those prone to acne. It is also useful as a maintenance treatment for overall rejuvenation and improving the function and appearance of the skin. There are a few exceptions such as significant active acne lesions, active skin infection, sunburn, eczema or psoriasis to name a few. Contact the friendly staff to arrange a consultation to see if microdermabrasion is right for you.
Generally we recommend microdermabrasion every 4 weeks.
