We are pleased to announce we are introducing Microdermabrasion
to our treatment menu this month, in this blog we explore the
benefits of microdermabrasion.
Basically Microdermabrasion is an intense
exfoliation which removes the outer layer of dead skin cells within
the stratum corneum (the top layer of our skin) thus leaves the
skin softer, smoother, more radiant and stimulates collagen
renewal. It also allows products to penetrate deeper in to the skin
levels. Treatment takes between 30 and 50minutes depending on area
being treated and is painfree and suitable for most skin types
including sensitive but particular good for sun damaged, ageing,
acne scaring or stretch marked skin.
There are two different types of microdermabrasion
on the market crystal and diamond the main differences
are crystal technology is a hand-held
device that propels a high-speed flow of aluminum oxide crystals
directly onto the stratum corneum. At the same time, the
machine has a vacum that sucks away dead cells and used
crystals. The diamond microdermabrasion, replaces the
micro-crystal flow with a diamond tip wand. Smaller areas such as
the eyes and mouth can be worked on more
accurately and there is no risk of stray crystals causing
damage or being swallowed. Both diamond and crystal
microdermabrasion give the same results.
At Spa in the City we use the diamond technique. To
