Microdermabrasion
Over time, dead and damaged cells on the surface of the skin can build up, making the skin look dull and tired. Too much exposure to the sun and the natural ageing process can also take their toll and leave the skin with imperfections. If you are concerned about black heads, rough or congested skin, Microdermabrasion could give you the results you’re after.
Medical Microdermabrasion will give your skin a new lease on life, revealing a fresher, younger-looking you. The treatment is suitable for all skin types and can be used to effectively improve the appearance of blackheads, brown spots, shallow acne scars, sun-damaged skin, dull or ageing skin, acne-prone or blotchy skin and fine lines.
Microdermabrasion facial treatment is available in our London Harley Street, Birmingham, and Northampton clinics.
Microdermabrasion is one of the simplest skin rejuvenation treatments and is suitable for the majority of skin types even for those with sensitive skin.
We always recommend a course of sessions, as microdermabrasion is a progressive treatment. It is also a great prepping treatment before a course of chemical peels. You will start to see visible results once the new skin cells are produced, leaving you with a healthy glow to your skin.

Your skin may be a little red after the treatment but should be back to normal in about 24 hours. You can still use make-up immediately afterwards.
A jet of micro crystals is vacuumed with a hand piece across the topmost surface of the skin known as the stratum corneum. This removes the layer of dead and damaged cells revealing newer, softer skin.
