Microdermabrasion provides a non-surgical skin refinish procedure, by using sterile Crushed Diamond Tips to abrade or rub off the top skin layer, then applying a Vacuuming suction to the skin to lift away dirt, debris and dead skin.
Microdermabrasion can effectively reduce or eliminate many of the skins imperfections, these include:
- Acne
- Acne scarring
- Pigmentation
- Uneven, dry or rough patches of skin
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Blemishes and Blackheads
- Sun spots
- Enlarged pores
- Sebaceous hyperplasia
- Oily skin
- Dull uneven skin tones
How does it work?
The microdermabrasion treatment uses non-allergenic crushed diamond to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. The handset is used to direct crushed diamond over the treatment area and, where necessary, target specific zones. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.
This is chemical free and non-invasive yet achieves amazing results revealing younger, healthier looking skin from the very first treatment. The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production as your body produces a new layer of skin.
How many treatments will I need?
Generally, we recommend a course of 6 to 8 treatments, usually performed every 7 to 10 days. People with acne or acne scarring may need more. We recommend a monthly maintenance treatment after the course has finished to help maintain the results achieved.
Does it hurt?
No, this is a pain free, relaxing treatment.
Are there any side effects?
- Slight itching
- Erythema (redness)
- Tingling effect

- On occasions a small temporary hyper pigmentation will surface on small parts of the
