Microdermabrasion was first developed in Europe in 1985, and since has been widely used in the treatment of skin imperfections.

This remarkable treatment will help to eliminate or improve facial lines, open pores, thickened skin, pitted scars and pigmentation or to give skin a healthy appearance. It can also be used to treat stretchmarks and body scaring.

Using minute aluminium oxide crystals, this skin is perforated and stimulated into regenerating skin cells, through the skins self healing process, and create new tissue. This regeneration of new skin cells will replace the damaged cells (the scar, pigmentation, etc.) and eventually leave you with a smooth textured, even coloured skin.

The advantages of this method over other treatments that give similar results is its minimal 'down time' and little trauma to the area being treated.

You should expect the skin to have a flushed pink to red colour immediately after a treatment. When treating scaring or facial lines, a red graze may be visible in the treated area and flaking of the skin may occur two to three days after the treatment.

Make up may be worn over treated area. For the best and quickest results, a home care routine involving the use of a Glycolic cream or lotion should be used to speed up the process. This product can simply be added to your current home care routine without the need to purchase certain cleansers and toners.

Alternatively, if you currently do not have a basic home care routine involving cleaning, toning and moisturising the skin at least twice a day, our qualified staff will be able to suggest and recommend the products and a routine to suit your individual need.

One of the most important aspects of Microdermabrasion is that results are permanent: keeping in mind that we can not stop the aging process (yet). While other treatments show some temporary improvements, reversal over time is quite common. Microdermabrasion, however, brings results that last.
