MICRODERMABRASION

Microdermabrasion is a quick, non-invasive skin treatment, ideal for cleaning, refining and smoothing the skin surface. Using micro massage, the procedure removes the surface layer of dead skin and stimulates healthy vital reactions in the deeper layers of the skin, resulting in soft and hydrated skin that glows. The Microdermabrasion machine at can be adjusted to suit all types of skin, including oily and dry, resulting in a treatment that's individualised to best address your specific skin type. Our machine can also treat different skin thicknesses, allowing it to assist with a variety of concerns, including acne, congestion, fine lines, wrinkles, scarring, and dry, flaky skin. Depending on the area being treated, the process can take as little as twenty minutes to perform, with Microdermabrasion results visible after just a single session in one of our Melbourne clinics.

How Does Microdermabrasion Work?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, gentle treatment that removes layers of dead and damaged skin, revealing a smoother, fresher complexion. Performed by a hand-held wand that features an exfoliating diamond tip, the wand is passed over the skin two or three times (depending on the thickness of a patient's skin), drawing in air which creates a vacuum when the wand touches the skin. As the exfoliating tip of the wand passes across the skin's surface, it picks up dead surface skin cells along the way, unclogging pores, removing dry skin and refining the skin's texture.

Frequently Asked Questions:

What can it treat?
Microdermabrasion provides exceptional results for the following conditions:

  • Fine lines
  • Wrinkles
  • Sun-damaged skin
  • Acne and acne scars
  • Scar reduction
  • Excess oil production
  • Blackheads and whiteheads
  • Enlarged and open pores
  • Superficial age spots
  • Dull, stressed, and congested skin

What are the benefits of Microdermabrasion?
The benefits of Microdermabrasion include:

  • A reduction in enlarged pores, with dead skin and dirt cleared from congested skin
  • Deep exfoliation that cleanses acne
  • Assists in the reduction of pigmentation and sun damage, resulting in a smoother skin tone
  • Stimulates lymphatic drainage, removing toxins

These benefits of Microdermabrasion result in youthful skin that's smooth and rejuvenated, reducing the appearance of acne, scarring, wrinkles, lines and a wide range of other skin concerns.

Does it hurt and is it safe?
Microdermabrasion treatment is a virtually painless and completely safe procedure. Our beauty therapist will customise the treatment to your skin type and because it's not a harsh or deep process, it requires no downtime. Sessions can be scheduled at any time of the day, allowing you to get back to your normal activities in no time. Treatments are comfortable with a slight tingling sensation, not unlike mild sand paper rubbing against the skin. A slightly sun burnt sensation is experienced for a short time afterwards.

What effects will be visible afterwards?
It is normal for the skin to be slightly red afterwards, which can last up to a few hours. Mild shedding of the skin is common in the first few days of early treatments, but is uncommon once the skin is in better condition. Where acne pustules have been treated, the area may be red and small scabs may form, lasting for several days. It's essential that you don't pick any scabs, as this can cause scarring. After a few days, you will see a visible improvement, with dull and stressed looking skin appearing smoother and fresher.

How many treatments do I need?
To obtain the best Microdermabrasion results, it's necessary to have multiple sessions over a period of time. For general rejuvenation, approximately six sessions are required. For problematic skin, a course of six to twelve sessions is recommended. These are performed every two to three weeks, with each session taking anywhere between twenty to forty minutes depending on the individual and the area being treated.
As the skin is constantly renewing itself, we recommend that most clients return on a regular basis to keep their skin looking its best. Many clients return every one to three months. The frequency of treatments can be decided as a part of your treatment plan, which is designed during an initial complimentary consultation in one of our Melbourne clinics.

How does it differ from dermabrasion?
If you've been wondering ‘how does Microdermabrasion work differently from dermabrasion?', the answer is simple: Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment that removes only the surface layer of dead skin, while dermabrasion is an invasive procedure that removes several layers of skin at once. This often requires a general or local anaesthetic, and leaves skin red, swollen and extremely sensitive for up to two weeks. Microdermabrasion is a much milder treatment, and is relatively painless with minimal after-effects.

Does microdermabrasion work for all skin types?
Yes, all skin types and colours are suitable for treatment, including both oily and dry skin. Our machine can even be adjusted to cater for sensitive skin. However, there are certain skin conditions and immune system disorders that may make Microdermabrasion unsuitable, so it's important to discuss your medical history with us in your initial consultation. The treatment is also not recommended for those with exceptionally sensitive skin, or those suffering with rosacea, as this may aggravate the area.

What's the difference between crystal and diamond microdermabrasion machines?
There are two types of machine commonly used: one that utilises a constant flow of micro-crystals to abrade the skin, and another that achieves abrasion with a laser cut diamond tip wand. The diamond tip wand allows areas closer to the eyes and mouth to be treated more accurately, while the crystal machine has a limited scope, due to the possibility of crystals getting into the eyes and causing damage. Diamond tip machines are also easier to control, are less irritating to the skin, and result in a more precise treatment.

Where can Microdermabrasion be performed?
The treatment can be safely performed anywhere on the body, including the face, arms, chest, hands, neck and back – anywhere that soft, smooth skin is desired.

Can I go back to work after a treatment?
Yes, you certainly can. While some slight redness may be visible afterwards, this will not disrupt daily activities, and there is no downtime required. However, it's strongly recommended to avoid sun exposure afterwards in order to obtain the best results.

ORGANIC SPRAY

Why the blood test?

Get an incredible tan using the very latest technology in professional spray-on tanning. Utilising an even and gentle spray, a bronzer and the natural and safe tanning agent ‘DHA' is applied over the entire body. DHA (Dihydroxyacetone) is the active “tanning” ingredient. DHA interacts with the outermost surface skin layer producing a golden brown colour that resembles the colouration of a UV based tan.

DHA reacts with the naturally occurring amino acids and keratin proteins in the dead skin cells resting on the skin's surface.The “bronzer” or added tint is a water soluble make-up. It will wash away in the first shower. The added tint does not affect the colour of the final longer lasting DHA tan. The initial colour lasts until your first shower. The colour that remains is produced by the DHA reacting with your skin. The bronzer gives you an incredibly natural looking tan immediately, whilst the DHA darkens your tan over the next 8 to 12 hours.

Spray Tanning Tips

By following these tips, your UV free tan may last 6 to 12 days with just one application.

Before the application
Exfoliate your whole body (especially feet, elbows and dry areas) the day before.
Before you tan, DO NOT apply moisturizer, deodorant, perfume or makeup.
If possible, wear nail polish on your toes and fingers ~ Clear is OK

What to bring with you
Remove all jewellery until after your 1st shower. Therefore it is best to leave all jewellery at home.
Wear loose, dark clothing.
It is best not to wear a bra after the tan as tight clothes can rub on areas, leaving the tan patchy.
Wear thongs or loose sandals as tight shoes and socks can also leave their mark.

How to preserve your great tan
Do not shower or exercise for 8 hours.
Avoid getting caught in the rain.
Do not apply perfume, moisturizer or deodorant for 8 hours.
But after 8 hours and your initial shower use PLENTY of moisturizer morning and night.
When you shower ~ Avoid soap and use soap free moisturizing washes.
Ensure that you pat yourself dry; do not rub.
Avoid prolonged swimming and bathing.
Use sunscreen when out in the sun as SprayTan has NO SPF.
