Microdermabrasion Canberra

Does your skin feel tired and have a flat appearance? Are you suffering breakouts? You may need a Microdermabrasion Microdermabrasion is used to gently exfoliate the skin. It achieves healthy, beautiful skin by gently removing the outer skin layer of dead skin cells that clog up the pores and give the skin a dull appearance. Microdermabrasion has shown to dramatically improve the texture and appearance of facial skin, and is perfect before a big occasion, for rejuvenation or to prevent breakouts. Microdermabrasion involves calcium carbonate crystals being blown onto the skin giving the outside layer of skin a heavy exfoliation. Combined with a sucking action, Microdermabrasion dramatically improves circulation and stimulates collagen. Microdermabrasion will treat a wide variety of skin conditions including fine lines and wrinkles, acne, tired and dull looking skin, blemishes, pigmentation (brown spots), large pores and congested skin. Any man, woman or teenager interested in improving the look and feel of their skin can have a Microdermabrasion. If you want the healthy glow then this is the treatment for you. Microdermabrasion is regarded as a ’lunch-time’ procedure as you are able to resume your activities after the treatment. It takes 30-45 mins to perform and is not painful. Number of treatments vary depending on the skin’s condition. For a wonderful “pick-me-up” treatment or for the control of acne, microdermabrasion delivers a smooth, clear and refreshed appearance.  Call the clinic today to discuss whether this is appropriate for you.

What is Microdermabrasion?Throughout your life, your skin is constantly working to replace your old dry skin cells with fresh new ones. As we age, the renewal process slows down and the top layer of your skin (which is made up entirely of dead, dull skin cells) thickens, gradually losing its ability to reflect light.Microdermabrasion is a skincare procedure formulated to exfoliate the top surface layers of the skin removing the dead skin cells to encouraging the skin's natural renewal process. It is a superficial treatment which can be useful to treat congested, lifeless skin, blackheads and fine wrinkles and help restore your skins youthful glow. A microdermabrasion treatment takes 45 minutes to one hour. In that time we cleanse, scrub and perform an AHA peel prior to the microdermabrasion treatment and then apply a soothing mask and moisturiser. Microdermabrasion is often used in conjunction with other treatments. A free consultation can advise you on the best course of treatments to address your concerns.At the Cosmetic Laser Clinic we use a diamond coated head that abrades the surface of the skin. The dead abraded skin is then sucked away via a vacuum extractor. The diamond head is passed over the treatment area several times. Older machines use microdermabrasion crystals to achieve the same result. Results are instantly visible with no downtime. You may experience a slight tingling sensation and increased redness, however within 2 – 4 hours the redness will subside and within 24 – 48 hours the skin texture will be at it's optimum.
