What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a noninvasive treatment that uses crystals to gently exfoliates your skin.

PREPARING FOR YOUR APPOINTMENT

If it’s your first appointment with us you’ll likely have a consultation to talk about your skin history and concerns. We offer free skincare consultations so that we can advise you on the right treatment for you. If you’re using exfoliating creams, AHA’s BHA’s, retinol or other prescriptions that sensitise the skin on your face you’ll be asked to stop use of these for at least a week prior to your appointment.

What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?

No matter what your skin concerns are, microdermabrasion likely benefits it. The best benefits are achieved by booking regular appointments every month or so. Overall, microdermabrasion aims to make your skin smoother, look younger, and more even.

SIDE EFFECTS AND DOWNTIME

As a noninvasive, cosmetic treatment, microdermabrasion has little to no downtime. Right after you walk out of your appointment, you will be able to go about your day! Unlike treatments such as chemical peels that leave your skin very vulnerable, microdermabrasion has few take home guidelines.

While it is true that your skin will be more susceptible to sun damage for a few days after an appointment, you should always be using sunscreen to protect your skin when you venture outside.
