Microdermabrasion treatment has traditionally been used in skin clinics for years to help with pigmented skin patches, known as solar keratoses, but is now used more widely to give the skin a smoother, even look.
This cosmetic treatment is carried out by a technician with specialist training to gently buff off the outer layers of skin cells. It is more like an intensive skin restorer that helps to visibly reduce the signs of aging and other problems with your skin.
This skin rejuvenation procedure is different from most other types of facials because it does not just temporarily treat the skin, but removes the outermost layer and leaves your skin smoother and younger-looking for longer after a few hours. It is affordable, safe and natural.
Chemical peels are similar to microdermabrasion in that they both utilize chemicals to exfoliate the skin. Microdermabrasion uses a handheld machine that runs an abrasive tip over the face, while chemical peels use a solution directly applied to a client's face to remove dead skin and allow for healthier skin growth underneath.
Learn about the four basic types of microdermabrasion and how each is used, as well as what to expect at your first appointment.
Diamond Microdermabrasion exfoliates your skin by using a diamond-tipped tool to gently remove dead skin cells, revealing a smoother, younger-looking complexion.
This consists of a variety of diamond-tipped interchangeable tools on a flexible shaft that can be used to assist in all skincare needs, from treating blackheads to exfoliating your face. It also helps promote healthy collagen production, which will aid in the elimination of acne scars, stretch marks and fine lines.
Diamond microdermabrasion is an effective anti-aging treatment that requires minimal recovery time and little downtime following the procedure.
Your practitioner can customize your session to suit your skin requirements. Diamond Microdermabrasion lifts fine lines and wrinkles without irritation or causing damage to the epidermis or dermis.
Diamond Microdermabrasion is a great way to renew your skin, it can minimize fine lines and wrinkles. The microdermabrasion machine is the only type of machine that we have in our med spa.
The Crystal Microdermabrasion system offers a proven method of exfoliation. It works by directing a small stream of fine crystals, typically aluminium oxide or silicon carbide, at the skin using a device.
These fine crystals have an abrasive action, and as they come into contact with your skin, they wear the dead cell layer away. This opens up your pores to allow the crystal exfoliant to penetrate and remove deep-seated debris from your skin.
Finally, a vacuum system gently suctions away the dead skin cells without damaging or irritating the epidermal layer of your skin cells. This results in an improved appearance and increased softness of your skin.
Banish your blackheads and acne scars with Hydro-Microdermabrasion.
A hydro-microdermabrasion system mixes pressurized water with gentle grade crystals to create a stream of water that is used to strip away the top layer of the skin without irritation or inflammation, leaving you with fresher, younger-looking skin.
The treatment can be carried out on any part of the body and can be tailored according to your individual needs.

Microdermabrasion isn't a one-size-fits-all treatment. It depends on skin types, your skin's tolerance and desired cosmetic effects, but our typical patient response is anywhere from once weekly to every eight weeks.
Many of our patients come in with the goal of brighter, more radiant skin, and so we recommend monthly maintenance to keep up the results of earlier treatments. We also see firmer skin, an improvement in fine lines or darkened spots, and better overall texture with maintenance.
If you are thinking about microdermabrasion, it is important to be sure that the person performing the treatment is certified to provide medical advice and conduct cosmetic surgery.
