Microdermabrasion | Allow 60 mins - $70 |
What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is an exfoliation process using a diamond tipped head and suction to remove the outermost surface of the skin, the Stratum Corneum. It promotes the production of new cells in the deepest layer of the dermis, cleans pores and aids in controlling breakouts. It also stimulates collagen networking to further even out skin texture and tone. Treatments can be performed within a lunch break and normal daily activities can be resumed immediately.
It is a safe, nonsurgical, comprehensive, and progressive approach to skin rejuvenation.
How does it work?
The exfoliation process occurs when the diamond tipped head makes contact with the skin and gently abrades against it. This is combined with vacuuming to remove dead, dull skin and deeply cleans the skin therefore reducing the levels of breakouts and drawing out blackheads.

How many treatments are recommended for optimum results?
We recommend a course of 4 - 6 treatments performed fortnightly, depending on the skin condition, though the result after just one treatment is an immediate enhanced skin appearance. You will notice prolonged results and improvements in many areas such as the evenness and pore size reduction of the skin after a course of treatments.

What areas of the body can be treated with microdermabrasion?
Treatments can be performed on the face, neck, decolletage, chest, back, arms and most areas of the body. A combination of skin treatments is most effective and we can tailor a clinical skin regime for you with a combination of Microdermabrasion and some of our other skin treatments such as luxury facials and AHA peels.
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 more refined depending on the number of treatments. Clients report that their skin looks softer, smoother and younger looking. It's also a great treatment to have a day or two before a big event as your skin will glow and make-up applies a lot smoother and even on the skin.
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.
Are there any side effects?
Microdermabrasion is a very safe and gentle process because it only removes the outermost layer of the epidermal layer of the skin. There are very few risks to microdermabrasion, although changes in pigmentation (usually areas of increased pigmentation) are possible - usually in those with darker skin types. Some clients may experience temporary redness or minor grazing of the skin. Skin may be temporarily sensitive to the sun so an SPF 30 MUST be used after treatment.
Post treatment information will be given to you after your Microdermabrasion treatment - please ensure you understand and thoroughly adhere to the recommendations to gain maximum effect to your treatment.
