Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion or ‘power peel’ is a type of mechanical exfoliation in which the outermost or most superficial layers of the skin are removed using a fine abrasive applied very gently.
It is not a one-time treatment, although benefits are visibly evident after one treatment, but is usually repeated at intervals, leading to the formation of a new skin layer that is smoother. Its aim is to improve the youthful appearance of the skin.
Microdermabrasion is used to treat the following conditions:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Dull skin
- Mild acne scars
- Sun-induced photodamage leading to hyperpigmentation or age spots
- Coarse pores
- Stretch marks or striae distensae
- Puffy tired looking skin & fluid retention (excellent lymph drainage)
Six treatments are typically advised over the first 12 weeks at 2-4 week intervals to produce the maximum effect. Our Microdermabrasion System has three modalities in one machine. The first step is the diamond
suction abrasion system. The second is ultrasonic therapy which sends streams of high speed ultrasonic vibrations into the skin layers at speeds of up to 28,000 vibrations per second. These safe, high-frequency vibrations are scientifically designed to remove imperfections under and on the skin such as dead skin cells, black and whiteheads, dirt, and oil. This treatment also has a lifting effect that creates ultra-smooth, soft, and supremely elastic skin. The final step is the hot/cold hammer which is gently maneuvered over the skin. The hot side of the hammer relaxes and opens pores while stimulating blood circulation beneath the skin. The cold side soothes tired and overheated skin and closes pores while locking moisture into the skin.
The cold hammer helps tighten the skin, which promotes elasticity while smoothing wrinkles and crows’ feet.
