Microdermabrasion

What is microdermabrasion? 

The SkinBase microdermabrasion treatment uses a stream of non-allergenic crystals to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. Your therapist will use the handset to direct the stream of crystal over the treatment area and, where necessary, target specific zones. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the crystal and skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.

This Facial is chemical free and non-invasive yet achieves amazing results revealing younger, healthier looking skin from the very first treatment. The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production as your body produces a new layer of skin.

How does microdermabrasion work?

Over the course of your facial treatments a wand delivering a fine jet of abrasive crystals will be passed over the skin. Dead skin particles will be abraded away, and a vacuum action will remove the debris.

This dual action will both resurface the skin and stimulate the blood flow, encouraging the skin to rejuvenate itself and produce collagen and elastin.

With each of your subsequent treatments, the intensity of the facial microdermabrasion can be increased – reaching to deeper layers and successfully removing acne scarring, lifting pigmentation and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

What does microdermabrasion treat?

The SkinBase Facial targets a whole multitude of ‘skin sins’. Microdermabrasion treatments can be used for anything fromstretch marks, fine lines, acne scarringand dull, tired skin toageing skin, uneven skin tone andpigmentation.

What are the benefits of microdermabrasion?

The benefits of microdermabrasion are many.

As a non-surgical method of skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion is quick, convenient, and painless, immediately restoring younger, smoother looking skin without the need for chemicals, lasers or injectables.

The huge number of benefits is what makes microdermabrasion such a popular treatment.

Who is microdermabrasion for?

It uses safe, non-allergenic crystals and is suitable for all skin types. The vacuum action during The SkinBase Facial works to stimulate the production of collagen, something we lose gradually as we age. This stimulation and skin’s renewal improves the condition of the skin’s surface – helping to target ageing skin, stretch marks, pigmentation, cellulite, dry and dehydrated skin, and acne scarring.

For anti-ageing treatments, all skin types, and tones from ages 28 and up will benefit the most from The SkinBase Facial. However, for problematic skin such as Acne Scarring all age groups can benefit. Under 16 year olds, will need a parental co-sign however.

Is The SkinBase Facial only suitable for use on the face?

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

Are there any side effects to the treatment?

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.

How quickly can I expect to see results?

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

How often should I have The SkinBase Facial ?

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

I have suffered from reactions to other facials, will this be the same with The SkinBase Facial?

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.
