Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion assists in skin rejuvenation by gently, yet thoroughly, exfoliating the upper layers of the skin where dead cells and impurities exist, called the stratum corneum.

Microdermabrasion is an advanced skin care exfoliation and rejuvenation treatment which gently polishes the skin through the use of a diamond tipped wand. The vacuum suction of the device removes dead skin cells, dirt and oils. The suction also stimulates blood flow to the area which improves collagen and elastin production, plumping the skin.

Hydrodermabrasion is another form of microdermabrasion, using pressurised water to break down dead skin cells instead of a diamond tip. Both treatments are non-invasive and have the same brightening and refining effect. Your Skin Specialist can assess your skin to decide which treatment is best for you.

Before:

Microdermabrasion requires little to no preparation.

• We recommend that you don’t have any chemical or laser peels, filler or anti-wrinkle injections for two weeks prior to your treatment.
• Topical skincare containing Retinol, Retin-A, Hydroquinone or Steroids must be stopped 2 weeks prior to treatment.
• If you are using prescribed medications such as Roaccutane or high-strength topical Vitamin A, your Skin Specialist will discuss alternative treatment options.

After:

• Avoid facial waxing for one week after your treatment.
• Use Soothe Cooling & Hydrating Serum to relieve and replenish your skin. Soothe is great for use on the face as a cooling serum, or for daily use to keep skin balanced.
• Using your prescribed Dalton Cleanser, Serum and Moisturiser post treatment will protect against free radicals. They will also help to purify, soften and hydrate your skin, enhancing your results.
• Avoid using skincare products that contain AHAs, Retinol or exfoliating agents for 1-week post treatment.
• We recommend the Dalton Sun Care sunscreen UVA/UVB Protection cream SPF 50+ after all facial treatments to prevent photoaging by avoiding direct sun exposure.
