Microdermabrasion is a skin-freshening technique that helps repair facial skin that takes a beating from the sun and the effects of aging. The beauty therapist uses a device like a fine line sandblaster to spray tiny crystals across the face, mixing gentle abrasion with suction to remove the dead, outer layer of skin. More than one treatment maybe needed to reduce or remove fine wrinkles and unwanted pigmentation.

Treatment time
Pre treatment:
approximately 10-15 minutes
Procedure:
approximately 20-30 minutes
Procedure
We effect a superficial skin polishing with the aid of delicate hand piece, through which microcrystals are vacuumed. This technique delivers a gentle abrasion which efficiently produces satisfying results in as little as twenty minutes. Microdermabrasion treatments enhance your skin appearance through a course of weekly or bi-weekly sessions. These treatments combat the signs of aging skin, thus achieving what no other available treatment can (without surgery). Most importantly, Microdermabrasion is safe to use on all skin colours and types.

Expected result
