Overview
Ultrapeel Microdermabrasion is a superbly effective treatment using corundum crystal powder that mechanically exfoliates the skin removing dead cells, improving texture and smoothing away irregularities. Microdermabrasion also acts to stimulate the production of fresh new skin cells and collagen. Most successfully, the treatment delivers instant and remarkable results.

Is this right for me?
Microdermabrasion is suitable for ageing, dry, oily, dull, congested, and blemished skins, open pores, wrinkles, acne, scars, hyper pigmentation and stretch mark reduction.

What results can I expect?
Many patients notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment. Your skin will feel vibrant and healthy and you will notice an immediate difference in it being softer and smoother. There is virtually no recovery time, no discomfort and you can return to work immediately.

What is involved?
Before you make a decision to go ahead with a Microdermabrasion treatment, you will need to have a consultation; your consultation will include an evaluation of your skin type and a discussion of your skin care needs.

Normally, Microdermabrasion takes between ten and thirty minutes depending on the area being treated -a course of 6 every two weeks is recommended to gain maximum results.

Microdermabrasion is performed by passing a hand held device that uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals over the skin. These crystals, delivered at high velocity on to the skin surface are immediately vacuumed away, taking the top-most layer of dead skin cells with it.  
 
 
What are the benefits?
Microdermabrasion offers a modern, virtually painless alternative to chemical and laser peels. It is a versatile procedure that can be combined with other treatments to help activate desired results.

Following Microdermabrasion the skin is in better condition to absorb anti-ageing and acne creams. At the same time the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the treatment and this promotes new collagen, thickening the dermis and improving the resistance to the effects of ageing.

What are the Risks
There are some very minute risks involved in Microdermabrasion if you are a healthy adult. If the machine is used at a high power it carries the risk of hyper pigmentation, reddening and bruising.

Aftercare
After Microdermabrasion the skin is particularly sensitive so exposure to sunlight can often result in skin irritation and increased redness. Using a moisturising cream after Microdermabrasion also decreases the risk of skin dryness and flaking caused by the abrasive effect of crystals on the skin.

How long will the results last?
Typically, Microdermabrasion results last a few months. Although improvement in scarring can be permanent and improvement in photo ageing can last years with good sun protection. Patients notice improvements in the texture and appearance of the skin immediately after the first treatment. Your skin will feel vibrant and healthy and you will notice an instant difference in your softer, smoother skin. There is virtually no recovery time, no discomfort and you can return to work immediately.
