Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion uses oxide crystals to exfoliate the epidermis of
the skin, to a required depth, in order to treat various skin
imperfections such as scarring, pigmentation, open pores and fine
lines. It will improve the overall look and feel of the skin by
giving it a smother texture and even colour.

Microdermabrasion was
first developed in Europe in 1985, and since has been widely used in
the treatment of skin imperfections.
This remarkable
treatment will help to eliminate or improve facial lines, open
pores, thickened skin, pitted scars and pigmentation or to give skin
a healthy appearance. It can also be used to treat stretchmarks and
body scaring.
Using minute aluminium
oxide crystals, this skin is perforated and stimulated into
regenerating skin cells, through the skins self healing process, and
create new tissue. This regeneration of new skin cells will replace
the damaged cells (the scar, pigmentation, etc.) and eventually
leave you with a smooth textured, even coloured skin.
The advantages of this
method over other treatments that give similar results is its
minimal 'down time' and little trauma to the area being treated.
You should expect the
skin to have a flushed pink to red colour immediately after a
treatment. When treating scaring or facial lines, a red graze may be
visible in the treated area and flaking of the skin may occur two to
three days after the treatment.
Make up may be worn
over treated area. For the best and quickest results, a home care
routine involving the use of a Glycolic cream or lotion should be
used to speed up the process. This product can simply be added to
your current home care routine without the need to purchase certain
cleansers and toners.
Alternatively, if you
currently do not have a basic home care routine involving cleaning,
toning and moisturising the skin at least twice a day, our qualified
staff will be able to suggest and recommend the products and a
routine to suit your individual need.
One of the most
important aspects of Microdermabrasion is that results are
permanent: keeping in mind that we can not stop the aging process
(yet). While other treatments show some temporary improvements,
reversal over time is quite common. Microdermabrasion, however,
brings results that last.
