Treatment of the Month:The Medical Microdermabrasion Facial

I’ve always been rather intrigued by these facials that use new fangled technology but I’ve never mustered up the courage to get involved. Quite a big deal in the beauty industry, the Medical Microdermabrasion facial has caused quite a stir. Not one to be left out, I’ve taken the plunge to let you in on the secret to smoother, younger looking skin.

I’ve been mulling along nicely getting regular facials that are designed to brighten your complexion and give you that gorgeous ‘just back from the spa’ glow that we all covet. Over the past ten years I’ve punished my skin and now i’m trying to make amends. Smoking, late nights, take it or leave it cleansing routines not to mention all of those days in the sun have taken their toll so it’s time to erase and rewind.

Now don’t get me wrong, the Medical Microdermabrasion facial can’t work miracles. It’s not going to turn back the clock twenty years but it can work its magic on your fine lines and even helps to reduce sun damage. Whether you are a smoker, a sun worshipper or someone who sleeps in their makeup, this is the treatment for you.

The Serious Stuff

During my visit to Skin Medical, I learnt a lot about the Medical Microdermabrasion treatment and how it achieves such spectacular results. As a newbie, I had lots of questions about the procedure itself and while it is non surgical, it is significantly more powerful than the regular Microdermabrasion treatment.

Here’s how it works. Medical grade (very tiny) crystals are passed over the skin via a state of the art hand held piece of equipment. These crystals will remove the outermost layer of your skin to reveal the fresh, smooth skin below. This sounds painful but in reality it isn’t at all. It feels like your face is in a mini hailstorm. The vacuum effect created by the suction is the only thing I could feel and is not dissimilar to pins and needles.

Things you will love about this treatment

  • It is suitable for people of all ages
  • It is ideal for all skin types
  • It takes less than 30 minutes
  • No downtime
  • Did I mention it’s practically painless?

This treatment works wonders on hyperpigmentation, fine lines, acne prone skin, age spots and more. Six to eight treatments are recommended for maximum results.
