The SkinBase™ Facial is chemical free and non-invasive yet achieves amazing results revealing younger, heathier looking skin from the very first treatment. The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production as your body produces a new layer of skin.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS:
WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION?
The SkinBase™ Facial microdermabrasion treatment uses a stream of non-allergenic crystals to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. Your therapist will use the handset to direct the stream of crystal over the treatment area and, where necessary, target specific zones. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the crystal and skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.
HOW DOES MICRODERMABRASION WORK?
The SkinBase™ Microdermabrasion Facial is a progressive rather than aggressive treatment, during which you’ll feel completely relaxed and pampered with no discomfort from the facial. During a microdermabrasion treatment, a fine jet of abrasive crystals gently removes dead skin cells layer by layer and a vacuum action lifts away the debris, stimulating the blood flow and encouraging collagen and elastin formation. With each of your subsequent SkinBase™ treatments, the intensity of the facial microdermabrasion can be increased – reaching to deeper layers and successfully removing acne scarring, lifting pigmentation and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.
WHAT DOES MICRODERMABRASION TREAT?
The SkinBase Facial™ targets a whole multitude of ‘skin sins’. Microdermabrasion treatments can be used for anything from stretch marks, fine lines, acne scarring and dull, tired skin to ageing skin, uneven skin tone and pigmentation.
WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF MICRODERMABRASION?
The benefits of microdermabrasion are many. As a non-surgical method of skin rejuvenation, microdermabrasion is quick, convenient and painless, immediately restoring younger, smoother looking skin without the need for lasers or injectables. The huge number of benefits is what makes microdermabrasion such a popular treatment.
WHAT SKIN TYPE IS MICRODERMABRASION SUITABLE FOR?
The vacuum action during The SkinBase™ Facial works to stimulate the production of collagen, something we lose gradually as we age. This stimulation and skin’s renewal improves the condition of the skin’s surface – helping to target ageing skin, stretch marks, pigmentation, cellulite, dry and dehydrated skin and acne scarring. For anti-ageing treatments, all skin types and tones from ages 28 and up will benefit the most from The SkinBase™ Facial. However, for problematic skin such as Acne Scarring all age groups can benefit. Under 16 year olds will need a parental co-sign however.
ARE THERE ANY SIDE EFFECTS TO THE TREATMENT?
After the treatment, the skin may feel tight with mild redness. Therefore it is important that you use a good SPF moisturiser. These effects normally subside within 36 hours of treatment.
RECOMMENDED COURSE OF TREATMENT?
Microdermabrasion works best when used in a series of treatments. I recommend a course of 6 treatments. Treatments are usually performed every 7 to 10 days. A personalised treatment plan with be discussed in your initial consultation. People with acne or acne scarring might need more treatments and I recommend a monthly maintenance treatment after each course has finished to help maintain the results achieved. For optimum results I recommend combining this treatment with a course of Skin Peel Facials. At your consultation I can customise a treatment plan for you.
