How does Microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion skin treatments exfoliate the skin, much in the same way as a loofah sponge, although through a mechanical process. The Microdermabrasion uses three specially designed, state-of-the-art subsystems: a vacuum system, a compressor and a patented hand piece with tubing interlink system. The system’s hand piece projects micro crystals onto the skin’s surface in what we call a “sandblasting” type of technique and then pulls the crystals back up into an adjoining waste canister along with any expunged skin cells. Generally you may require more than one treatment which is discussed during a complimentary consultation with a trained member of staff.

What kind of results can I expect?

Usually you will notice an immediate improvement in your skin’s texture and appearance. Acne scars will become less defined depending on the number of treatments. Patients report that their skin looks softer, smoother and younger looking.

Can I go to work afterwards?

Yes, most patients experience only minor flushing and there is no anaesthesia required. We do ask that you refrain from using make-up on the day of your treatment to give the skin a chance to breath and regenerate itself. Exercise is not recommended for 24 hours post procedure as perspiration contains salt which can cause a stinging sensation.

How soon will I see the results?

After your first treatment your skin will have a fresh, pink glow to it. Improvement will continue throughout the treatment program. The number of treatments to achieve maximum results ranges from two to twelve treatments depending on the type of skin problem. The results are amazing especially for improvement in cystic acne.

How often can I receive treatments?

A course of Microdermabrasion is recommended i.e. One treatment 10 – 14 days apart and a course of 4 – 6 treatments depending on the skin type. This is followed by a maintenance program, whereby a treatment is recommended every 4-6 weeks.

How long are the treatments?

Treatments usually take about 30 minutes depending on the size and depth of the affected area.

What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion over other procedures?

Microdermabrasion takes less time to do, there is little discomfort and recovery time is relatively quick with no disruption to normal activities. Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types. It is a Chemical free treatment.

Who are the best candidates for Microdermabrasion treatments?

The best candidates are men and women who have good skin tone, good health, and realistic expectations. Including pregnant women.
