At About skin we use a diamond microdermabrasion machine known to be the best of its kind!

The technique of microdermabrasion ‘skin polishing’ is a simple and effective way of improving the quality and health of the skin. It works by combining skin exfoliation using a high quality diamond head or crystals with suction. This ensures efficient exfoliation in a gentle, non-invasive manner while the applied suction clears away the dead cells and plugs, stimulates the blood supply, increasing the natural turnover of skin cells.

This treatment improves:

• blocked pores

• skin blemishes and blackheads

• reduces the appearance of pigmentation

• refines pores and softens fine lines

Microdermabrasion improves:

• Skin Texture

• Uneven skin colour

• Dull or dry patches

• Acne and acne scarring

• Rough, thick or dry skin

• Clogged pores and blackheads

• Large pores, fine lines, sun spots and age spots

What results can I expect?

Poor health, diet, aging, stress and elements of nature can hinder the skin's cell renewal process. Microdermabrasion accelerates the cellular turnover process, bringing you closer to healthier, younger looking skin. It allows for the gradual resurfacing of skin without the risks, side effects and downtime of more aggressive alternatives.

In as little as 45 minutes, this gentle, abrasive technique efficiently produces satisfying results. Improvements in appearance and texture occur with successive treatments. Microdermabrasion can be used aggressively to achieve dramatic results, but does not take the place of surgical or laser treatments

How many treatments will I need?

To achieve maximum results, several treatments are recommended, typically scheduled one to three weeks apart. You will experience a progressive improvement throughout your treatment program. Ask to schedule a consultation to determine the appropriate number of treatments suited for your optimum effects and goals.

How will my skin look immediately after treatment?

Microdermabrasion leaves your skin feeling soft. You will notice a healthier glow to your complexion. Due to the increase of circulation, a mild, temporary blush surrounding the treated area may be the only evidence of your therapy.
