This is a ‘resurfacing’ treatment working on the top layer of the skin, which involves passing microscopic crystals across the skin, using a specially designed hand-piece with a slight vacuum, to remove dead skin cells and stimulate production of healthy new cells in the skin. As we get older, dead skin cells tend to remain on the surface for longer, contributing to a dull, grey complexion. Microdermabrasion removes these dead cells, leaving the skin looking younger and refreshed. Treatment is completely safe, quick and painless, with little or no recovery time required. It is the fastest growing aesthetic medical procedure in the US. We routinely perform Microdermabrasion before laser treatment for acne, acne scarring and wrinkles to enhance results, although Microdermabrasion is also an effective treatment in its own right.
