About Medical Microdermabrasion |
|
| |
For years, skin problems such
as acne, fine lines and sun damage have been treated
with lasers and chemical peels. Now there is a modern
safe and virtually painless alternative, Microdermabrasion.
With over a decade of success
around the world, the microdermabrasion procedure has
been used to treat millions of satisfied people.
The benefits of microdermabrasion
include:
• Less pain or discomfort
• Minimal risk
• Suitable for all skin types
• No anaesthesia required
• No recovery time
Because the microdermabrasion
procedure is performed under the supervision of a certified
professional, patients can be confident they will be
treated with the utmost care. |

How It Works |
|
| |
DERMA GENESIS® Medical
Microdermabrasion uses a highly controlled flow of fine,
medical grade crystals to remove the dead, outermost
layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals
the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and
receptive to nutrients.
|
Microdermabrasion
is commonly used to treat and diminish:
• Fine Lines and
Wrinkles
• Sun Damaged Skin
• Acne Prone Skin
• Blackheads and Whiteheads
• Superficial Age Spots
• Hyperpigmentation
• Oily Skin
• Dry or Patchy Skin |
The procedure is performed by
using a hand piece that the operator passes over the
skin. This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost
layer of skin, as pictured above: At the same time the
underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion
and the vacuum. This promotes new collagen which thickens
the dermis and improves resistance to the effects of
ageing.

The microdermabrasion
procedure takes approximately thirty minutes, depending
upon the skin condition, the area to be treated, and
the desired outcome.

Many will notice improvements
in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately
after the first treatment but optimum results are obtained
through a series of treatments, typically four to eight
treatments, spaced seven to 14 days apart. Significant
results should be seen in four to five weeks. The long-term
benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable.
The result is a glowing, smooth,
even and bright complexion. It is equally an ideal treatment
to help you look fantastic for a special occasion or,
more seriously, to treat unsightly skin blemishes and
acne scarring. |

Side Effects After Treatment |
|
| |
Mild redness may occur for
30 mins to half a day after the Microdermabrasion procedure,
depending on the aggressiveness of the treatment. There
are no side-effects to this treatment and no recovery
time is required. |

Suitable For Everyone |
