What is Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is a process that deeply exfoliates, polishes, and increases the lymphatic
drainage of skin. It uses a gentle vacuum to bring your skin in contact with a diamond coated
head that gently abrades the top layer of dead skin. It can be used in the treatment of sunspots,
pigmentation, acne (it is particularly good for comedonal acne/blackheads), acne scarring, fine
lines, pores, and dull skin. It is most commonly used on the face, but can be used on the neck,
back, and hands.

  What is involved in the treatment?

  Generally, a session of microdermabrasion of the face takes approximately 60 minutes.
  It is not painful and it may feel like you are having a facial. After microdermabrasion, your skin
  may appear red and this usually persists for a short time only. You will notice that your skin
  feels soft and smooth afterwards.

  We recommend 6 sessions at fortnightly intervals to achieve the best results. More sessions
  are generally required for acne scarring. Ultimately, the number and frequence of microdermabrasion
  will depend on the skin type of the patient was well as their needs. The results of microdermabrasion
  for acne scarring are not as dramatic as those achieved from other techniques such as plasma skin
  regeneration, skin needling, or laser resurfacing.
