Microdermabrasion is a minimally invasive epidermal resurfacing procedure used to treat the upper layers of the epidermis. The procedure uses a special applicator with an abrasive surface to gently abrade away the thick outer layer of the skin to rejuvenate it.
Microdermabrasion is considered a safe procedure for most skin types and colours. People might choose to get the procedure if they have the following skin concerns:
- fine lines and wrinkles
- hyperpigmentation, age spots and brown spots
- enlarged pores and blackheads
- acne and acne scars
- stretch marks
- dull-looking skin complexion
- uneven skin tone and texture
- melasma
- sun damage
This facial takes just 45 minutes. It is completely painless and has absolutely no downtime so you can carry on about your day immediately post treatment.
