A most effective peel with the microdermabrasion machine that removes a layer of dead skin minimizing the appearance of wrinkles and scars. Dull and tired skin is revitalized to appear radiant and smooth with just one treatment. Microdermabrasion also stimulates the production of collagen over time, resulting in firmer and more youthful looking skin.

How it works

Microdermabrasion uses fine crystals to pass over the skin surface at high speed to gently exfoliate the dead cells of the outermost layer (epidermis) of your skin. This leaves your skin “bright”, smooth and fresh. This procedure can also be used to minimise stretch marks and unwanted pigmentation.  Best of all, there is no downtime so you can return to your regular activities immediately!

 A quick treatment

The typical session for microdermabrasion takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Most patients find it a quite pleasant experience. The microdermabrasion hand piece will be passed over your skin and you will begin to feel a mild scratching as the procedure removes the superficial skin cells.

In addition, microdermabrasion stimulates the creation of collagen and cell turnover.

A safe treatment 

The Microdermabrasion is a safe, common, non-surgical procedure however there are people who should not have it. People with active herpes lesions, active acne or rosacea, open sores or lesions, dermatitis, psoriasis, people using Accutane within the last 6 months, eczema, and lupus should not have microdermabrasion.

Side effects for microdermabrasion are usually temporary and may include swelling and redness for several hours. With devices utilizing suction hand pieces there is a possibility of bruising from the suction, which will usually last several days. The skin will become more sensitive to sun exposure so most physicians recommend using sunscreen following a microdermabrasion session.
