The benefits of regular exfoliation are known to boost the condition of the skin. Microdermabrasion takes the effect of this one step further by using a safe yet highly effective mechanical system for exfoliating the skin, whisking away the top layer of dead skin cells and cleaning pores to reveal fresh, clear, new skin beneath.
The benefits are not just short term, as the process of exfoliation stimulates cells renewal, which we all know slows down with ageing. The treatment speeds up cells turnover process so the skin continues to improve after the initial microdermabrasion session.
After microdermabrasion treatment, soothing and therapeutic creams are applied. These can penetrate the skin more deeply after the treatment and are therefore more effective.
Benefits of Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a very flexible treatment which can be used to treat a wide range of problems and conditions, as it is directed at improving the health of the skin from within.
Microdermabrasion is suitable for women or men and can effectively treat:
- Fine lines and wrinkles
- Age spots, freckles, pigmentation and sun damage
- Certain kinds of acne (non-inflamed)
- Enlarged pores
- Mild scars including acne scarring
- Lacklustre, tired-looking skin
- Flaky and/or dry skin
- Acne scarring
- Stretch marks
It can be used on the body as well as the face – for example, improving rough and dry skin, goose bumps or body acne.
High-Tech Microdermabrasion Technology
The microdermabrasion machine in use at Clinicbe is different to the harsher crystal dermabrasion systems commonly used at other clinics. Our machine uses a non invasive exfoliation method with medical grade diamonds plus an infusion of a dermatological solutions selected for patients on an individual basis. The treatment is also adjustable with varying grades of intensity according to the individual’s requirements. This has a series of benefits for the skin:
- Diamond tips combined with vacuum suction gently loosen and lift away dead skin cells, clear the impurities from the pores
- Suction device stimulates microcirculation
- Microdermabrasion sucks the skin to place it in contact with the diamonds which exfoliate the skin through abrasion
- Leaves the skin a healthy colour after treatment
- Dermatological solutions (Lumisyl Infusion, Skin Hydrating, Skin clarifying, Vitamin C hydrating) bring more nutritional substances to nourish the skin.
SilkPeel DermalInfusion may be combined with other treatments. The timing of any combination of treatments will be agreed upon during consultation.
