Medical Microdermabrasion

Visage Lifestyle Clinic is the first clinic in the area to introduce a brand new treatment for a complete skin rejuvenation treatment – Medical Microdermabrasion – a technical name for what is essentially a deep exfoliating procedure which reduces the appearance of scarring, fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation problems, uneven skin tones, and a dull, lifeless, sun-damaged complexion.

This treatment, suitable for all skin types, is a safe and effective way of exfoliating the skin without using any chemicals or laser. The machine produces a jet of crystals that are propelled across the skin’s surface through a sealed tube, and with a sterilised hand piece vacuums them off to remove the unwanted dead skin cells and scarred tissue. The vacuum pressure of the treatment is customised according to the client’s needs and skin type.

The result is a glowing, smooth, even and bright complexion. It is equally an ideal treatment to help you look fantastic for a special occasion or, more seriously, to treat unsightly skin blemishes and acne scarring.

There are no side-effects to this treatment (which takes about 30 minutes) and no recovery time is required. Mild redness may occur for between 30 minutes and half a day after the Microdermabrasion procedure.

Dr. Rahman said: "We are delighted with this treatment. It is a perfect complement to our Fotofacial, which uses pulsed light to treat more serious scarring and pigmentation problems to create a really beautiful complexion. It is already proving extremely popular with our existing clients and is set to become a “must” for the special occasion."
