Microdermabrasion Treatment In Sanctuary Cove

Our advanced medical microdermabrasion equipment employs a diamond-encrusted tip to gently glide across your skin, eliminating dead cells effectively. This innovative method offers a natural alternative to chemical or surgical procedures, reducing discomfort, irritation, and redness. By enhancing the skin’s appearance and laying the foundation for a more responsive epidermal layer, our treatments cater to individuals seeking a refined, youthful complexion and improved efficacy of subsequent dermal therapies.

what does the medical micro dermabrasion treatment involve?

Our clinical practitioners utilise a hand-piece to gently glide a diamond-encrusted tip over the skin’s surface, targeting the superficial layers. As the tip makes contact with the skin, it effectively removes old, dead, and flaking skin cells, which are then suctioned away. Simultaneously, the diamond-encrusted tip exfoliates and polishes the skin beneath, revealing a smoother complexion.

Skin afflicted by acne, scarring, and moderate wrinkles from sun damage and pigmentation issues can find relief through medical microdermabrasion. This procedure revitalises the skin by eliminating dull, sun-damaged epidermis and encouraging the generation of new skin cells and collagen. Combining medical microdermabrasion with laser treatments can yield optimal results.

Our medical staff are trained to perform medical microdermabrasion, giving our clients a safe and effective skincare treatment.

What are the benefits of Medical Micro Dermabrasion?

Each medical microdermabrasion session lasts around 30 minutes. Often, the benefits become noticeable after just one treatment, yet additional sessions are advised for more dramatic and enduring results.

Clients can experience wrinkle reduction, pigment corrections, and a generally more even skin tone and texture.

Will it hurt?

You may feel some slight irritation during the procedure. Following treatment, you may experience a feeling similar to mild sunburn but this can be easily treated with a moisturiser.

When will I see the results?

You should notice an immediate result, although you may want to continue treatments for a more dramatic effect.

HOW DOES A MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL WORK?

A Microdermabrasion facial is a skin exfoliation treatment that effectively smooths and eliminates the top outer layer of skin. It utilises natural diamond-tipped wands that rotate to exfoliate the skin, akin to sandpaper, while a suction action hoovers up dead skin cells and clears pores. This process also stimulates collagen production, promoting firm and youthful-looking skin.

WHAT ARE THE MICRODERMABRASION BENEFITS?

The main benefit of microdermabrasion is to exfoliate the skin. In removing dead skin cells it can give an overall fresher appearance to the skin, unclogging pores and restoring a glow to the skin. Monthly treatments are recommended to reduce blackheads and blocked pores.

HOW MANY TREATMENTS WILL I NEED TO SEE FULL MICRODERMABRASION BENEFITS?

You should notice some improvement straight away*, but we recommend regular microdermabrasion treatments (one every six weeks, lifelong) for full microdermabrasion benefits.

ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS?

Possible side effects from a microdermabrasion facial include skin irritation and redness. It is not advised if you have very dry or sensitive skin.

IS MICRODERMABRASION FOR ACNE A GOOD TREATMENT?

Microdermabrasion for acne scars can be good but we do not recommend microdermabrasion treatment if you have active acne as the process can spread the acne bacteria throughout the face, instead if you have breakouts we recommend the blue radiance peel which will help control breakouts.

IS MICRODERMABRASION AN ALTERNATIVE TO BOTOX AND FACIAL FILLERS?

Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating facial; it will not give the same results as Botox or facial fillers. It may be the case that you require a more advanced treatment such as Botox or dermal filler to achieve your goals; this can be discussed with your aesthetic therapist on the day of your treatment, who will advise.

HOW MUCH RECOVERY TIME IS REQUIRED?

There is no recovery period after a microdermabrasion treatment, although your skin may appear red for several hours afterward.

WHAT PRECAUTIONS SHOULD I TAKE AFTER A MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL?

Do not apply makeup for 6 hours after treatment
– Do not apply heat or hot water to the treated area for 12 hours after treatment
– Sunscreen is necessary while in sunlight for 14 days following treatment, this can be purchased in clinic or online, we recommend on which does not clog pores
– Facial moisturiser is recommended to keep your skin hydrated as it can feel very dry after microdermabrasion. We stock a specific moisturiser that we recommend after microdermabrasion as it hydrates without blocking pores and allows the dead skin cells to continue to shed – you will be able to purchase this on the day of your treatment.

Can microdermabrasion effectively treat large pores?

Microdermabrasion effectively addresses large pores by unclogging congested pores and reducing blackheads. It’s especially beneficial for individuals with congested or oily skin prone to pore blockage. Combining medical-grade skincare products like Retinol with microdermabrasion for pore unclogging and skin needling for permanent improvement of dilated pores is recommended. If unsure about suitable treatments or their combination, our expert team is available for guidance and advice.
