What is Microdermabrasion ?
Microdermabrasion helps to remove old skin cells & damaged skin layers to reveal a fresher, more youthful complexion. It rejuvenates your skin in a short time with little or no discomfort.
How does it work ?
During the treatment, the doctor directs a stream of tiny (micro) aluminium oxide crystals through a hand piece that is placed against the skin. These crystals exfoliate the skin. The mild suction created by the system removes the skin debris and crystals.

How many treatments are required ?
Multiple treatments are required. Approximately 6 to 8 treatments spaced 2-3 weeks apart are necessary.
How long does it take ?
The typical session for microdermabrasion takes between 15 and 30 minutes. Most patients find it a quite pleasant experience. Following the session your skin will feel smoother and tighter and some redness is common for few hours afterwards.
What types of skin problems can be treated ?
Microdermabrasion sloughs off the dead and dull surface layers of the skin, stimulating an increase in collagen production and rejuvenation. Many patients see dramatic improvements in the tone, texture, and color of treated areas after just one treatment. Microdermabrasion can also improve:
- Oily or dull skin
- Enlarged pores
- Clogged pores / Black heads
- Fine lines
- Mild acne scars
- Mild complexion problems (such as uneven pigmentation or poor skin texture)
What is Post-treatment care ?
Following microdermabrasion, it is important to use sunscreen as the skin is usually very sensitive to sun exposure. Also, moisturizing the skin is helpful as the microdermabrasion session will dry the skin temporarily.
