Microdermabrasion

How It Works

Microdermabrasion is an effective and safe solution for many skin conditions or concerns. It can help nourish and tone the skin, and it can also reduce the appearance of fine lines and dark circles. Many people find themselves in a situation where they can’t rely on make-up or other procedures to get their skin back in order. Some skin conditions can cause you to lose confidence and make-up may even worsen the underlying problem and cause further irritation to your skin! Fortunately, microdermabrasion can help with a wide variety of skin conditions including:

• Acne and Acne scarring
• Signs of Ageing such as fine lines & wrinkles or age spots
• Blackheads
• Uneven and dull looking skin
• Enlarged pores
• Melasma
• Sun damaged skin

Although it’s usually recommended to have a few sessions to achieve the best outcomes, you will become aware of noticeable results soon after the first treatment. If you have questions or concerns about this treatment procedure, you can get in touch with one of our highly trained and experienced staff members to discuss the best course of action for you.

Before Treatment

There’s very little preparation you need to do before coming in for a microdermabrasion appointment.

However, there are a few small things you need to be mindful of in the weeks prior to the appointment. Two weeks before your appointment, avoid direct sun exposure and do not use any cosmetic injectables. Also, avoid using any products that can cause hair removal or skin damage.

Around three to four days before your scheduled appointment, stop using products that contain active ingredients – such as exfoliating creams or masks. You should also remove all your make-up and prepare for your face to be cleansed, immediately prior to the treatment.

That’s it! It is a very fast treatment procedure, and as you can see there’s very little you need to prepare for aside from some of the quick and easy tips we mentioned above.

What to Expect

You can expect a quick and painless treatment procedure that will leave you feeling rejuvenated and younger looking!

A typical microdermabrasion session lasts around an hour (depending on the targeted area). Our trained staff will make sure that you are comfortable before the procedure begins. The sensation you will experience once the treatment begins has been described to be like a cat lick. It’s usually a bit rough but not too unpleasant. The microdermabrasion process will begin to work properly after the session begins. It’s typically mild and doesn’t cause any side effects. Usually, minor discomfort and soreness will subside within a few hours.

After Treatment

Usually, it’s known to be quite a quick recovery and you can go back to the things you love doing in no time at all!

This is one of the biggest benefits of this type of skin treatment – lack of downtime. You will start feeling the effects of the procedure after the session begins. Although it’s usually mild, some individuals may experience soreness or swelling. This will disappear within a few hours. A few things to keep in mind to ensure your skin can recover with the best results after the procedure –

• Avoid direct sun exposure, especially for about seven days after the treatment. Exposing the new skin to direct sunlight could result in an increased risk of sun damage.
• Avoid scratching or picking at your skin for about a week after the treatment.
• For the first 48 hours after the treatment, do not exfoliate or use any products on your skin that contain active ingredients such as glycolic, benzyl peroxide, retinol etc.,
• It would be best to also avoid excessive exercising that’ll product a lot of sweat which could irritate the skin soon after the procedure is completed
