Microdermabrasion Treatment In Runaway Bay

Our advanced medical microdermabrasion equipment incorporates a diamond-coated tip to delicately remove dead skin cells, providing a comprehensive alternative to chemical or surgical procedures. This innovative technique minimises discomfort, inflammation, and redness. By improving skin texture and priming the skin for improved absorption of future treatments, our offerings are tailored to individuals desiring a polished, youthful appearance and increased efficacy of upcoming skin therapies.

what does the medical micro dermabrasion treatment involve?

The skilled medical practitioners in our facility employ a handheld device that smoothly glides a diamond-tipped tool across the outermost layers of the skin. This process involves the efficient removal of outdated, lifeless, and peeling skin cells upon contact, which are subsequently suctioned off. Additionally, the diamond-tipped tool exfoliates and refines the underlying skin, resulting in the unveiling of a more refined and polished complexion.

Skin affected by acne, scarring, moderate wrinkles from sun damage, and pigmentation issues can benefit from medical microdermabrasion. This procedure revitalises the skin by removing dull, sun-damaged epidermis and promoting 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?

The Microdermabrasion facial is a specialised treatment designed to exfoliate and rejuvenate the skin by removing the outermost layer. Using diamond-tipped wands, this procedure gently buffs away dead skin cells, similar to sandpaper, while simultaneously suctioning them up and unclogging pores. Additionally, it encourages the production of collagen, resulting in a more youthful and firm complexion.

WHAT ARE THE MICRODERMABRASION BENEFITS?

The primary advantage of microdermabrasion lies in its ability to exfoliate the skin. By eliminating dead skin cells, this treatment can provide the skin with a renewed appearance, unclog pores, and restore a healthy glow. It is recommended to have monthly sessions to reduce blackheads and address 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 is highly effective in addressing large pores by unclogging congested pores and reducing blackheads. It is particularly beneficial for individuals with congested or oily skin prone to pore blockage. Combining medical-grade skincare products such as Retinol with microdermabrasion for pore unclogging, and incorporating skin needling for permanent improvement of dilated pores, is recommended. If uncertain about suitable treatments or their combination, our expert team is available to provide guidance and advice.

The advanced medical microdermabrasion tool we utilise features a tip coated with diamonds to gently eliminate dead skin cells, presenting a natural substitute to chemical or surgical interventions. This progressive method decreases discomfort, irritation, and redness typically associated with traditional techniques. By enhancing skin aesthetics and stimulating the development of a more responsive epidermal layer, our services are tailored to those in pursuit of a refined, youthful appearance and increased efficacy of subsequent dermal treatments.
