Microdermabrasion
A microdermabrasion treatment consists of a vacuum pulling the skin to an abrasive pad which exfoliates the dry, dull skin while stimulating circulation and rejuvenating the skin. Each treatment removes one to two layers of dead skin cells, depending on the condition that is being treated. The depth of treatment is determined by the trained Skin Therapist and controlled through the speed of the hand piece, abrasiveness of the exfoliation pad and the number of passes. Since each treatment is customised, clients can be treated at their own comfort level.
Candidates for Microdermabrasion
The best candidate for microdermabrasion is the client who wishes to improve the appearance of their skin and is willing to take an active role in protecting and maintaining the results. Microdermabrasion improves the overall appearance and tone, resulting in a smoother and healthier skin.
Number of Treatments
Your personalised regime will be determined by the skin condition being treated and your desired result. The number of treatments can vary from 4 to 12, depending on the severity of your condition and treatment goals.
Stretch marks and acne scars require the greatest number of treatments.
Microdermabrasion treatments should be performed 7 to 14 days apart. After your desired results have been achieved, it is recommended to have maintenance treatments at least every 3 months.
