Microdermabrasion

Why Have Microdermabrasion?

Your skin is exposed to environmental elements every day. Over the years, the sun's rays, pollution, and other damaging agents can take a toll on your skin. Microdermabrasion treatment can help reduce or eliminate the wrinkles and fine lines, "crow's feet," age spots, light acne scars, and undesired pigmentation that may appear on the skin over time.

Will the results last?

A one off treatment is beneficial for everyone. To optimise the results a series of treatments is recommended. Each treatment maximises, enhances and maintains the already useful benefits.

In independent clinical trials, microdermabrasion was shown to dramatically improve the texture and appearance of facial skin. Microdermabrasion will treat a wide range of skin concerns and skin colours, safely and effectively. Just like physical health and fitness, skin must be exercised to keep it looking younger. A true skin fitness programme will stimulate skin cells to regenerate more efficiently and effectively.

What Is Diamond Oxy Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-chemical, non-invasive procedure that uses a spray of microcrystals to remove the outermost layer of dry, dead skin cells and reveal younger, healthier-looking skin. Microdermabrasion also encourages the production of a new underlying layer of skin cells with higher levels of collagen and elastin, which further improves your skin’s appearance. Diamond Oxy Microdermabrasion is much gentler than laser and IPL which are a more intensive procedure used to treat deeper facial lines, extreme sun damage, and scars.

Microdermabrasion Candidates

People who are in good physical health, The Oxy Pro treatment is suitable for all skin types, and works best with people over 30 or those with mature skin because the skin's ability to retain oxygen diminishes with age. Ideal for oily, acne prone and problematic skin including dry skin as oxygen provides hydration, with realistic expectations for the outcome of their treatment. People who do not have enough available time to undergo more invasive skin resurfacing treatments such as laser or IPL skin resurfacing, or chemical peels may also be good candidates for microdermabrasion.
