Microdermabrasion
The Treatment
Microdermabrasion utililizes very fine crystals that are swept gently over the epidermal layer of the skin. This treatment can give good results as a one off skin treatment before an important or special event, to give the skin a real boost and a glow. Microdermabrasion can also be useful as part of a combined programme of treatments to help escalate results in more serious skin problems, for example acne and sun damaged skin. This pain free treatment lasts approximately 30 minutes and includes a deep cleanse and skin rebuild. Phototherapy Lights can also be included to stimulate collagen and elastin and detoxify the skin.
The Science
Any build up of dead skin on the surface epidermal layer, (excess keratinisation) can lead to a dull, sallow and tired looking skin. This excess keratinisation can also complicate conditions like acne and sun damaged skin, making them more difficult to treat. Microdermabrasion helps to sweep this build up of dead skin away, leaving skin looking brighter and more even toned.
The Results
An immediate brightening effect is seen with this treatment and skin appears smoother, brighter and more even toned.
