microdermabrasion
-
All skin requires conditioning treatments to encourage optimal cell renewal. Microdermabrasion is a professional skin treatment that provides gentle exfoliation to remove dead skin cells and encourage cell turnover. I tailor each step to target your individual skin concerns. At your consultation, we will create a treatment plan and advise what is best suited to achieving your skin goals.
Microdermabrasion targets the epidermis which is made up of dead skin cells and is the layer of skin closest to the surface. By buffing away the uppermost layer, we break down the barrier that often prevents skincare products from properly absorbing into the lower dermis.
The skin’s upper layer is also home to blemishes, fine lines, and wrinkles so Microdermabrasion works to rejuvenate and alleviate the visible signs of congestion. With no down-time, Microdermabrasion is a perfect lunch-time treatment, leaving your skin looking and feeling its best.

Microdermabrasion treatments are extremely safe and effective. Any redness, temporary flaking, or mild discolouration will disappear after your treatment and can be covered with a light layer of mineral makeup.
