Microdermabrasion

There is a little preparation prior to your microdermabrasion treatment.

2 weeks before:

• No cosmetic injectable treatments.
• Avoid excessive direct sun exposure.
• No waxing or laser hair removal treatments on the face.

1 week before:

• No plucking / depilatory use on face.

3 days before:

• Stop the use of active ingredients on the skin (AHA, BHA, retinol, salicylic acid, etc.).
• No chemical peel treatments.

• Avoid washing your face until the next day.

• Use gentle cleansers and lotions for the first 3 days - avoid exfoliating products.

• Continue to wear SPF and avoid excessive direct sun exposure for at least 3 days.
• Avoid hot showers, swimming, saunas, hot tubs and exercise for the first few days.

• Avoid any laser treatments or hair removal methods for at least 2 weeks after treatment.

There is no downtime for this treatment. You may experience slight redness after the treatment but this usually subsides within 24 hours. Light mineral makeup can be applied directly after the treatment. 

 Microdermabrasion can be treated on the face, décolletage, neck, shoulders, back, arms and hands.

Best results are usually seen by people in the early stages of aging - between 30-50. 

It is not recommended if you have skin conditions such as rosacea, eczema, dermatitis, active sunburn, herpes, lupus, open sores, psoriasis, fragile capillaries or widespread active acne.

Ultrasound therapy for your skin is a non-invasive and effective way to improve the appearance and health of your skin. 

During the treatment, a handheld device is used to apply ultrasound waves to the skin, stimulating the production of new collagen and elastin fibres by penetrating deep into the skin. These are essential proteins that keep your skin looking youthful and healthy. 

This procedure helps to:

• Improve the tone and texture of your skin.

• Reduce the appearance of fine lines, wrinkles and enlarged pores.

• Increase cellular turnover.

• Promote cellular renewal and repair.

• Tone muscles and tighten skin.

• Increase blood circulation.

• Encourage lymphatic drainage.

• Combat puffiness and swelling.

• Reduce the appearance of cellulite,

• Improve acne.

• Fade dark eye circles and old age spots.

• Repair scar damage. 

• Improve skin care product penetration.

This process is safe, painless and gentle and can even be used by sensitive skin types. The sound waves produced by the ultrasound resonate well above your hearing level and move too quickly for your nerve endings to register. Ultrasound therapy is completely painless and requires no downtime.

Light Emitting Diode (LED) Therapy works to repair, replenish and rejuvenate the skin, evening out tone, treating blemishes and even managing pain. It boosts collagen production and is ideal for treating active acne. It uses colour waves (red, blue & yellow) to penetrate the skin's epidermis. This non-invasive treatment is pain-free and relaxing, so it is suitable for all ages and skin types.

RED LED - helps with signs of aging by activating cellular metabolism, promoting collagen production.

BLUE LED - kills bacteria that causes acne, making this service good for reducing breakouts, blackheads & whiteheads. It acts as a decongestant and purifies acne prone and problem skin while helping to normalize oil production.

YELLOW LED - also used for acne and skin rejuvenation, but has healing functions to treat wounds, pain relief, muscle & joint pain and arthritis.

Cold therapy is a beauty tool that is designed to cool and soothe the skin and is used to reduce inflammation, close pores, calm irritated skin and enhance circulation. When used in conjunction with a serum or moisturizer, a cold skin wand can help to increase the absorption of these products, leaving your skin feeling hydrated and rejuvenated.
