Medical Microdermabrasion

Medical Microdermabrasion

Derma Genesis Medical Microdermabrasion is a safe, effective, non-surgical skin resurfacing procedure. It works by removing the dead outer layer of skin (the Stratum Corneum) with fine, medical-grade crystals and a vacuum suction applied to the skin. This deep exfoliation process exposes the new skin cells underneath improving the appearance of the skin’s surface. The body interprets this as a mild injury and in turn, stimulates collagen production and cell regrowth by the body’s own wound healing processes.

Without the stratum corneum acting as a barrier, the skin is more receptive to the active ingredients in skin products. The treatment is followed by a soothing mask, enriched with active ingredients tailored to your specific skin concern. 

 

What skin concerns can be treated with Medical Microdermabrasion?

  • Pigmentation

  • Congested skin

  • Dullness

  • Ageing

  • Acne-prone skin

  • Large pore size

  • Uneven texture

MICRODERMABRASION + CHEMICAL PEEL

Microdermabrasion can be combined with a chemical peel for optimum results. We can pre-treat the skin with microdermabrasion to remove excess oils and dead skin cells. This will allow for deeper penetration of the superficial chemical peel. It is highly recommended for excessively oily, acne-prone, pigmented or dull skin. Both procedures increase the production of collagen to slow down the ageing process and remove dead skin cells, revealing a bright dewy glow.

MICRODERMABRASION + IPL

Microdermabrasion can be combined with IPL to maximise and enhance the results of the IPL. We can pre-treat the skin with microdermabrasion to remove dead skin cells, this will allow for deeper penetration of the IPL. It is highly recommended for excessively pigmented/sun-damaged or dull skin. Both procedures increase the production of collagen which helps to slow down the ageing process.

 

Treatment unsuitable in the following cases

  • Active infection e.g. Herpes Simplex

  • Severe active acne

  • Sunburn/windburn

  • Pregnancy

 

When will I see the results?

During the recovery period patients generally, experience immediate improvements, but optimal results will not be visible until you have completed all recommended treatments. Medical Microdermabrasion works best as a series of treatments at approx. 2-4 weekly intervals. For optimum results, we recommend combining this treatment with an IPL or a superficial skin peel.

 

What is the recovery time?

There is no downtime, allow a day for the redness to subside. You can apply mineral make-up the following day.
