Microdermabrasion:
Microdermabrasion is a safe, gentle painless non-surgical resurfacing technique with no down time after treatment, which will leave your skin supple and radiant.
What is Microdermabrasion and how does it work?
It is a resurfacing process of the skin by gradual exfoliation of the surface cells that reduces damage caused by age, sun and other environmental factors. It is a "no down-time" alternative to laser resurfacing and chemical peels. Using a vacuum and positive pressure, the machine and the specially- designed Diamond Tip hand-piece is passed over the skin. This gently exfoliates the dry, dull skin, while stimulating circulation and collagen formation while the vacuum removes the dead skin particles. The depth of treatment is determined by our highly trained operators and is controlled through the speed of the hand piece and the number of passes made. Each treatment is customised, so you can be treated at your comfort levels.
What happens in a treatment?
After your initial consultation, a customised plan will be developed for you. Often called "the lunch time peel", each session may take between 20- 30 minutes depending on the areas to be treated. Your skin may be slightly reddened for 20 minutes to several hours after the treatment but it is perfectly safe to apply make-up and return to normal activities. Most find the treatment very relaxing.
Treatments can vary from 4-12, depending on the severity of your condition and your desired results. Treatments are usually performed 7-10 days apart. Best results are obtained when adhering to the schedule prepared for you. Once your desired results have been achieved, you will want to have a maintenance treatment 1-3 monthly.
Who can be treated?
Microdermabrasion is safe for men and woman of all skin conditions and colours and all ages. It is safe in pregnancy and breast feeding mothers. The best candidates are those who wish to improve their skin appearance. Benefits will be seen with photo ageing such as fine lines, age spots, enlarged pores, flaking and dry skin, uneven pigment and acne, acne scarring, clogged pores and oily skin. It can be used on any part of the body e.g. neck, hands, shoulders etc.
How soon will I see results?
You will feel softer, smoother skin and may see subtle improvement after one treatment. Greater results will be seen after four treatments. The benefits continue to multiply with additional treatments as increased circulation occurs in the deeper layers of the skin and newer healthier skin cells are seen at the surface.
The results are significantly enhanced by combining the microdermabrasion treatment with an ionzyme DF vitamin infusion.
How much does it cost?
Treatments cost from $125.00 - $165.00
What after care do I need?
You will require a good sunblock after treatment to prevent pigment changes when exposed to the sun. Wears this 2 x/ day. Your therapists can advice you on the best sunblock available at Clinic 42, for you.
