Microdermabrasion
About Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive instrument to gently sand your skin, removing the thicker, uneven outer layer.
It helps to polish the skin to remove dead cells from the surface, directly achieving skin resurfacing and related effects such as hyperpigmentation and the reduction of acne marks.
Benefits
Microdermabrasion evens out skin tones and skin texture and minimises pore size to give the skin a rejuvenated, glowing and smooth appearance.
Often alternating microdermabrasion with other therapies such as medical peels is most effective and gives maximum benefits.
