Medical Microdermabrasion

The New skin restoration procedure 

For years, skin problems such as acne, fine lines and sun damage have been treated with chemical peels and lasers. Now there is a modern, safe and virtually painless alternative - MICRODERMABRASION.

With over a decade of success in Europe, the microdermabrasion procedure has been used to treat millions of satisfied people.

The benefits of microdermabrasion over chemical peels and laser include

less pain or discomfort ,minimal risk, no recovery time and it is suited for all skin types.

Medical Microdermabrasion is setting a new standard for skincare. The procedure is fast predictable and painless.

Derma Genisis Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead outermost layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.

 

Microdermabrasion is commonly used to treat and or diminish:

  • Blackheads & Whiteheads
  • Fine Lines & Wrinkles
  • Sun Damaged Skin
  • Acne Prone Skin
  • Acne Scarring
  • Superficial Age Spots
  • Hyperpigmentation
  • Oily Skin
  • Dry or Patchy skin

The procedure is performed using a hand piece that passes over the skin two or three times. This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin

As pictured below.

 The underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion and the vacuum. This promotes the generation of new collagen, which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to the effects of ageing.

The average microdermabrasion procedure takes less than thirty minutes, depending upon the skin condition, the area to be treated, and the desired outcome. Many will notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment.

The long term benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable giving your skin a younger, smoother appearance.
