Exfoliate the deep layers of your skin to reveal totally renewed, refreshed skin.
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that deeply exfoliates and polishes the skin to stimulate new cell growth. It is better suited for improving overall skin texture and brightness.
This treatment works to removes those cant-even-see dead skin cells that result in congested skin. The treatment is undertaken with a diamond tip wand, gently exfoliating and stimulating the blood flow of your skin.
Microdermabrasion treatments are typically spaced out every 2 to 4 weeks for optimal results, with some individuals needing more frequent sessions initially. After an initial course of treatments, monthly or bi-monthly maintenance sessions are often recommended to maintain the benefits. The exact frequency depends on individual skin type, concerns, and the specific treatment plan designed by a skin professional, your nurse.
Microdermabrasion risks are usually minor, including temporary redness, swelling, and dryness, but can involve infection, bruising, or skin discoloration, especially for darker skin tones. Serious complications like scarring or hyperpigmentation are rare but possible, particularly if done too aggressively or with poor aftercare, with pre-existing conditions like rosacea or herpes also posing risks. Proper technique by a trained professional minimizes these risks, but individuals should avoid it with active infections, open sores, or certain skin conditions.
Treatment times are typically anywhere between 10-30 minutes.
Clients will notice the difference of a microdermabrasion treatment straight after their first session!
We advise our clients to have monthly Microdermabrasion appointments to maintain their healthy, glowing skin. Popular treatment combinations with Microdermabrasion include bundling with a monthly skin peel and LED light treatments for optimal results.
Clients will be able to return to work and life activities straight away, though some people experience temporary redness, like a mild sunburn, for a few hours to a couple of days, requiring good sun protection and gentle skincare. Expect skin to feel softer, but avoid harsh exfoliants and intense sun exposure for a short period.
Warning:
Individual results may vary. All cosmetic procedures carry risks which need to be discussed with a cosmetic nurse.
