Microdermabrasion
/Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive and painless treatment with absolutely no down time. At most, patients will experience subtle redness for a brief period of time.
While most individuals witness an improvement in their skin’s texture right away, they may wish to book multiple sessions (normally two weeks apart) in order to achieve their desired results.
Mechanical exfoliation procedure that is performed with a diamond tip. This non-invasive treatment will remove the superficial layer of dead skin cells. Suitable for men and women who have concerns about fine lines, wrinkles, hyperpigmentation, acne scars, enlarged pores, congested skin and dull looking skin. This treatment stimulates collagen production, smoothes fine lines, reduces enlarged pores, the appearance of scars, and lightens dark spots.
Our skin is made up of two layers: the dermis or inner layer and the epidermis, or outer layer. As these layers grow and die throughout our aging process, dead skin cells are replaced by new ones. However, as we get older, this cycle slows down. As a result, our skin starts to look duller, while blemishes and wrinkles become more apparent.
Most of these imperfections are contained within the epidermis. Microdermabrasion is a gentle process designed specifically to target this outer layer of skin. It speeds up the natural process of skin turnover, leaving you with a fresh, more youthful appearance.
How Does the Treatment Work?
Professional microdermabrasion devices pass over the skin via a vacuum or air pulsating wand. This process gently “sandblasts” dead skin cells off the surface.
Microdermabrasion has been used safely around the world for years to provide subtle yet visible improvements on the skin’s surface. In less than an hour, clients can emerge with a refreshed complexion.
Pre Treatment Instructions
Do not use exfoliating creams 24 hours prior to your treatment.
Avoid sun tanning or tanning creams/sprays for 24 hours before treatment
You must NOT have recently had laser surgery or used Accutane
Candidates who have had a recent chemical peel or other skin procedure, such as collagen injections should wait two to three weeks before undergoing microdermabrasion.
Prospective patients should also refrain from waxing or tanning the skin to be treated for a few weeks prior to microdermabrasion treatment.
Wash your face and neck with a non-oily, non-soap based cleanser before each scheduled treatment.
Post Treatment Care

Anti-inflammatory creams or cold compresses may be used as necessary
Use a gentle cleanser.
Trauma such as scratching or picking the treated area should be avoided.
It is important to avoid irritating the treated skin with harsh chemicals, rubbing or tanning for one week.
Although some peeling may occur in the treated areas, moisturizer should help minimize this effect.
Avoid staying in the sun for at least 7 day after the Microdermabrasion treatment to prevent UV rays from damaging your skin which slows down the recovery.
