Microdermabrasion

Skin Care

Skin Rejuvenation


Microdermabrasion is the ideal treatment for people who wish to rejuvenate their skin on a regular basis. It is suitable for virtually anyone and has a more lasting effect than an ordinary facial which is more relaxing but whose effects are very very temporary.

In Microdermabrasion fine particles of sand are blown against the skin and then sucked up by the application wand. It is a treatment that is good for fine lines and wrinkles, sun damage and acne scarring. As our skin ages it turns over more slowly. The sand particles used in Microdermabrasion cause a very mild injury to the skin causing the skin to turn over more rapidly. When skin cells turn over rapidly they look and behave as if they are part of a younger skin.

The effects of Microdermabrasion may be obvious to you almost immediately and after several treatments you will notice skin is more radiant, soft and regenerated with some decrease in fine lines and wrinkles.

The benefit of Microdermabrasion is that it is suitable for all skin types, has no downtime and is safe and painless.

What can Microdermabrasion improve?

  1. Fine wrinkles
  2. Sun damaged skin
  3. Pigmentation
  4. Superficial age spots and acne scars

Who is the best candidate for Microdermabrasion?

  • People with skin that is sensitive to chemicals
  • Younger people who may have early skin changes and want soft, smooth skin
  • People who want absolutely no downtime for healing

What can be done to enhance the effects of Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is frequently enhanced by using a personalized skin care regime. This may include the use of sun screens as well as other products such as Retin A. Our personalized skin care regime is based on an assessment by Dr Shah as well as using our skin care analysis system, VISIA.
