Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion for Facial Rejuvenation Q&A

Does Microdermabrasion work?
Microdermabrasion works by stimulating the skins renewal process. A fine abrasion, coupled with suction, gently removes loose, dead and diseased cells and also empties out blocked pores in a manner similar to a vacuum cleaner. This improved circulation brings oxygen and nutrients to refresh and regenerate your skin, and allows for the proper discharge of oil.

Benefits of Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is effective for the treatment of acne, fine lines, open pores on the face, surgical scars, any raised scar and even Keloid scars, as well as rough, sun-damaged skin.

What happens in a typical treatment? What will you feel during treatment?
Microdermabrasion can take as little as a few minutes to up to an hour depending on the size of the area being treated and is effectively a “lunch time” treatment. No anaesthetic is required and you will usually be treated reclining comfortably.

How will you feel after treatment?
When the treatment is completed the skin has a red healthy glow due to the increased circulation. This usually settles down to a normal healthy look within a day or so.

Microdermabrasion results? 
The full result will not be evident until the fresh new skin growth stimulated by the treatment covers the area. The usual recovery time for a completely normal skin appearance is around 24 hours.

How many sessions are necessary?
This depends on the therapist’s diagnosis and the nature of your problem but we usually find a series of 5-10 treatments to be effective. However you will already see a significant from your first treatment.
