Microdermaplaning

Microdermaplaning improves the skin’s appearance by removing the top layers of dead skin through a fine planing procedure. This is a safe and painless way of exfoliating the skin’s dead cells in addition to removing the fine ā€˜peach-fuzz’ hair we have on our faces. Microdermaplaning softens, smoothes, and improves irregularities, giving the skin a silky texture.

 

Microdermaplaning FAQ's

What to expect after the treatment?
Primarily, your skin will feel clean and smooth. Your skin tone and texture can also improve significantly, especially after several treatments.
 
How long will the treatment last?
How long your results will last can depend entirely on your skin quality. If you currently have clear skin tone, then the results of microdermabrasion will be longer lasting. We recommend monthly treatments for optimum results.
 
Does the treatment hurt?
No, the microdermabrasion treatment is not painful. It may occasionally cause a slight stinging sensation during application, but is certainly not painful.
 
Is it safe?
Yes. However microdermabrasion is not appropriate for all skins, and can be very dehydrating, so it is important to follow up treatment sessions with a good moisturiser. Our Advanced Skin Therapist will provide you with a recommended home care plan.
 
How long does the procedure take?
Treatments usually take 20 to 30 minutes. We suggest pairing your microdermabrasion treatment with our EnvironĀ® Medi Facial to maximise results.
 

How quickly does it work?

You will see and feel immediate results following your treatment.
