Medical Microdermabrasion
This treatment can help improve a range of skin conditions, including: pigmentation, acne scarring, congested skin, uneven skin tone, sun damage and the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles.
How it works
Your skin will be double cleansed prior to the use of the Skin Base™ system and then your therapist will concentrate on the skins rejuvenation, with the use of Aluminium Oxide crystals to exfoliate and retexturise. Different techniques are used dependant on your skin type.
The crystals used are ideal to penetrate the skin and treat all areas of the face, using different pressure settings that are adjusted to your skin’s needs. The gentle removal of dead skin cells leaves your skin feeling instantly smoother and fresher, whilst promoting new skin growth and cell renewal, improving underlying muscle tone, and encouraging elastin and collagen growth.
The intensive resurfacing treatment stimulates the circulation and increases blood flow to the area. This carries extra nutrients and energy to the area, such as oxygen, glucose and minerals essential for your skins health, maintenance and growth resulting in a firmer, more youthful looking skin. A luxurious mask restores hydration.
