Microdermabrasion cures a variety of skin related problems, including:

• Blackheads
• Whiteheads
• Finelines
• Wrinkles
• Sun-damaged skin
• Acne-prone skin
• Superficial age spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Oily skin
• Dry patchy skin
• Dull, tired skin

• Blemishes

In as little as 30 min a microdermabrasion facial will firm up, revitalise & leave you with more young-looking skin. After the operation at The Skin Nurse Clinic, wrinkles & fine lines will fade, acne & acne scarring will be significantly reduced, & dull & tired skin will be restored to glowing health.

Sometimes Microdermabrasion can trigger a restorative crisis in problematic skin, such as an acne breakout in acne sufferers or pimples for those with congested skin. This is a sign that the procedure is taking effect. This temporary reaction will subside, & great improvements will be seen over subsequent treatments.

Microdermabrasion is not a suitable treatment during pregnancy or for Rosacea.

First, the skin is thoroughly cleansed & steamed. Steam softens the upper layers of skin & opens the pores. Utilizing a handheld tool, a mild abrasion will be targeted to particular areas of the skin. Simultaneously, the device will clean up any excess crystals while stimulating circulation to the epidermal layers of the skin. This transports nutrients & oxygen to the epidermis, which is void of blood vessels.

The crystals are responsible for eliminating dead skin cells. This prevents bacteria & debris from being trapped under the surface & restores vibrancy to the skin. Combined, the treatment stimulates collagen & elastin production. It stimulates cellular regeneration & promotes blood flow to the epidermal layers of the skin.

Depending on the state of your skin & the desired results, the number of procedures will vary. You should consult your health history to determine if Microdermabrasion is the right treatment for you or not. Your provider will determine your skin type & help you set reasonable & achievable goals. Be sure to ask about contraindications & before & after photos.

Microdermabrasion does not demand anaesthesia, although it may be mildly irritating. Tightness & heat are natural effects & quickly disappears. The sensation is often compared to a cats’ tongue licking your face.

Lasting effects are dependant on proper skincare. Additional treatments will renew your youthful appearance. A series of 6 treatments over a few months is recommended for best results, followed by regular maintenance treatments.
