MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL

WHAT IS MICRODERMABRASION FACIAL?

At Sutton & Epsom Cosmetic Clinic Microdermabrasion is performed by a doctor or a trained practitioner. Microdermabrasion is a comfortable and relatively painless procedure. This is a form of skin treatment that works by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin using a controlled flow of fine medical crystals to remove dead skin cells. The medical-grade aluminium oxide crystals exfoliate and remove dead and tired skin cells, your body will work to reveal fresh skin cells, leaving your skin looking brighter and silky soft. Please note Microdermabrasion is not an effective treatment for scars, stretch marks, deep wrinkles or acne scars. For these skin conditions please speak to our team or doctor to get more information on the treatment options available. To prepare your skin for Microdermabrasion treatment please avoid using glycolic, salicylic acid or retinol products for 1 week prior to treatment.

WHAT AREAS OF MY BODY CAN BE TREATED WITH MICRODERMABRASION?

Microdermabrasion is a fantastic treatment for the face. However, it can also be performed on other areas of your body. The most popular areas are;

• Back
• Buttock
• Chest
• Hands
• Legs and
• Neck

Very often the above areas get forgotten about, which can lead to a build-up of excess dead skin cells with time, leaving your skin looking dull and tired. Microdermabrasion can do wonders by removing the dead skin cells from these neglected areas, leaving your skin looking bright and feeling soft and silky. We recommend a course of treatments to achieve optimal results.
