Microdermabrasion

What is it

  • It is healthy to exfoliate your facial skin from time to time and professional microdermabrasion is one of the most effective ways to achieve a great result. "Microderm" is a procedure where the top layer of sun-damaged and dead skin cells are removed.
  • This is the least invasive treatment to freshen up your skin and achieve a healthier, younger appearance.
  • Simple painless procedure to rejuvinate and restore natural glow.

    • How does it work

  • Mechanical exfoliation that removes the uppermost layers of dead cells.
  • The epidermis or top layer will be thicker due to the new cells produced. The lower cells will be tighter knitted. The most highly saught after benefit is in the dermis.
  • The number of collagen fibres increase in number and thickness and become more tightly packed  and consistantly organised.
  • The number of elastic fibres increase and become orietated vertically instead of horizontally giving the dermis more spring. The number of fibroblasts (cells that produce collagen) increase and the blood flow to the dermis increases giving a better colour to the skin
  • Best results are seen after a few treatments 10-14 days apart . The small amount of trauma to the skin causes the skin to repair itself in a more organised way.
  • Initially will be a little red and because we have removed some of the outer protective layer of the skin the skin may be  drier and flakey in the next 1-2 days, simply use cetophil to manage this, but in a week the skin will be more hydrated.
  • Need to avoid the sun and may apply ice after if necessary.
