Microdermabrasion

The technique of microdermabrasion ā€˜skin polishing’ is a simple and effective way of improving the quality and health of skin. It works by combining skin exfoliation using a high quality diamond head or crystals with suction. This ensures efficient exfoliation in a gentle, non-invasive manner while the applied suction  clears away the dead cells and plugs, stimulates the blood supply, increasing the natural turnover of skin cells. This treatment improves blocked pores, skin blemishes and blackheads, reduces the appearance of pigmentation, refines pores and softens fine lines – all of which result in a clearer, polished.

Microdermabrasion FAQ's

What to expect after the treatment?
The actual process involves using a specialised surgical scalpel to remove the excess hair and dead surface cells from your skin. The treatment softens the skin and the hair is removed, giving you a smoother appearance.
 
How long will the treatment last?

Yes. This is an advanced technique which must be performed by an experienced therapist.

Treatments usually take 20 to 30 minutes.
