More often than not, most people are suitable for Medical Microdermabrasion. If you have or have had acne, skin discoloration, uneven texture or sun damaged skin — you may be a suitable candidate for Medical Microdermabrasion, although it can be used to treat many other skin conditions. One of our trained clinical therapists will give you a thorough consultation and advise you of your suitability.

YES!!!!! A few patients do notice their skin feeling tight immediately after the treatment as if the skin has been exposed to the sun or wind. You might experience a slight dryness of the skin depending upon your skin type. An effective moisturizer is applied after the treatment to prevent this drying of the skin. The skin might appear slightly red for the remainder of the day.

Additionally, the patient is asked to refrain from using makeup on the day of the treatment to give the skin chance to breathe and regenerate itself.

Mild redness may occur for ½ an hour to one day depending on the aggressiveness of the program.

One of the advantages of Microdermabrasion is that it has no downtime. You can return to your normal routine.

Our clinical therapists will advise you that it is actually recommended to combine your Medical Microdermabrasion treatments with other skin treatments such as Chemical Peels, Skin Needling and LIGHT therapy in order to maximise achieving your desired results. Medical Microdermabrasion is often a perfect complement to other skin treatments; however combination treatments should only be done by a trained clinical therapist.

Treatments are gentle and rejuvenating, and are suitable for all skin types and skin colours. If you have acne, discoloration, uneven skin tone or texture, tired and aging skin, or sun damage, Microdermabrasion is extremely safe and will gently polish away dull skin, allowing healthy new skin to shine through. Unfortunately Microdermabrasion has no effect on deep scars, wrinkles, birth marks or tattoos. Microdermabrasion treatments are generally applied to the face, but can also be very affective at reviving skin on your décolletage, shoulders, back, arms and chest.

There is no clinical pain in a Microdermabrasion treatment, although you may feel some sensitivity when our clinical skin therapists are treating the delicate skin around the eyes. Afterwards, you may feel like you have a mild sun burn – hot and a little pink for the first day.

Your skin will feel invigorated and pure, and will glow and shine from the newly exposed skin cells. Slight peeling is normal a few days after your first treatment, so avoid using any exfoliating scrubs or lotions before and after treatment for at least 3 days. Also avoid exposing your new skin to sunlight and tanning beds.

Results are often immediate. Your skin will feel smooth and pure, and will appear more youthful and toned. The following day, you will notice a significant difference when applying your makeup and your skin will forever be wanting more!

Microderambrasion works great in conjunction with LED Light Therapy LED lights interact with the skin cells to help counteract the signs of ageing, reduce active acne by killing the bacteria, and smoothe and tone skin texture by stimulating collagen and elastin production.

Microdermabrasion is not recommended for people who have deep scars, active keloids, undiagnosed lesions, a recent herpes outbreak, warts on the face, skin cancer, active acne (stages 3 and 4), sunburns or active rosacea, eczema, an auto-immune system disorder.

Lasting effects are dependent on proper skin care. Additional treatments will renew your youthful appearance. A series of six treatments over a few weeks is recommended for best results, followed by regular maintenance treatments.
