More about Microdermabrasion

What are the benefits of using microdermabrasion over other methods of treatment?

Are there any risks associated with microdermabrasion?

We use disposable nozzles, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination between clients as the nozzle is the only component that will come into contact with the skin during treatment.

The Crystals

Crystals are made of Aluminium Oxide; a naturally occurring mineral. Sterile and non-toxic with no adverse skin contact reactions.

How the treatment course works

Microdermabrasion is a progressive rather than aggressive treatment. The epidermal layers are removed gently and safely over a course of treatments. In a course, the treatment is performed every 7 to 10 days. This means that the stratum corneum layer that was removed in the previous treatment has not had the chance to rebuild and also the client's tolerance to the treatment increases. Therefore, with each subsequent treatment, the intensity of the treatment can be increased in order to reach deeper down the layers of the epidermis to successfully remove acne scarring, lift pigmentation and smooth fine lines.
