Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion: Fresher, Clearer Skin in Just a Few Short Treatments

Microdermabrasion, meaning literally ‘small skin wearing away’ is an intense exfoliating cosmetic procedure that uses fine crystals to buff away the very outer layer of skin cells and remove dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, new skin beneath. Skincare products can absorb more readily into the skin following treatment. The SkinBase™ microdermabrasion treatment also benefits from a vacuum action which stimulates the micro-circulation and increases blood flow to the treatment area. The type of microdermabrasion offered at SkinBase is crystal microdermabrasion but diamond tip is also another type offered by some providers.

Why Choose Our Spa & Beauty Center

No, microdermabrasion does not hurt. You may feel a mild discomfort but most patients compare the treatment to a gritty facial massage or they feel minor tugging on their skin.

Yes, microdermabrasion can help to get rid of blackheads. The treatment loosens the dead skin on your face and removes the top part of blackheads. Over the course of your treatments, the blackheads will be removed along with the dead skin and excess oil that cause the blackheads.

Yes, microdermabrasion can be used for all skin types on all areas of the body and face.

No, The SkinBase Facial™ is fantastic on pigmentation, congested skin, fine lines and stretch marks anywhere on the body.

After the treatment, the skin may feel tight with mild redness. Therefore it is important that you use a good moisturiser. These effects normally subside within 36 hours of treatment.

SkinBase recommends a course of three to six treatments, however your SkinBase therapist will talk this through with you following your initial consultation. People with acne or acne scarring might need more treatments and we recommend a monthly maintenance treatment after each course has finished to help maintain the results achieved.

You will see results immediately and with each subsequent treatment your skin will continue to look progressively better.

Treatments are usually performed every 7 to 10 days but your SkinBase therapist will confirm this with you.

Crystal microdermabrasion uses a stream of sterile crystals, that are very unlikely to cause any skin irritation. Your SkinBase therapist will provide a patch test on the back of your forearm for added reassurance. You should also ensure you use the recommended aftercare products and follow the aftercare advice.
