NB: For reasons of safety, please do not bring children/babies when attending for medical cosmetic treatments.

Medical Microdermabrasion is a modern, safe and virtually pain free alternative to chemical, surgical and laser skin resurfacing. The end result is younger, softer and radiant looking skin that is obvious from the first treatment.

Using a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade, crystals to remove the dead outermost layer of skin, thus cleaning the pores and stimulating new collagen growth, the effects are immediate. The exfoliation reveals new living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.

We often recommend Microdermabrasion is done in conjunction with a chemical peel for better, longer lasting results.

Microdermabrasion is effective in the treatment of acne prone skin, acne scarring, black/white heads, fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage, superficial age spots, hyper-pigmentation, oily skin and dry/patchy skin. Simply put, it improves the texture of your skin leaving you looking fresh and revitalised.

Prior to your treatment you will have a consultation with one of our practitioners to ensure Microdermabrasion is appropriate for your needs. At this stage we will answer any questions you may have as well as discuss the number of treatments you may require.
