Micro Dermabrasion

Medical micro dermabrasion is a technique which uses a diamond shaped crystals and suction to clean and abrade the skin. It is used to resurface and smooth the skin, removing the outer layer of dead cells, providing deep cleansing and increased circulation to refresh and regenerate. With repeated treatments it results in permanent smoothing of the skin surface and any irregularities.

Our cosmetic nurse Gabrielle McCrae is trained in micro dermabrasion and can perform the procedure for you at the Ellenbrook Medical Centre. It is a painless procedure requiring no anaesthesia, and there is little or no recovery time as there is no discomfort after treatment.

After micro dermabrasion your skin may appear red due to increased circulation, however this fades within a day or two. Some people's skin peels for up to three days after treatment - this is perfectly normal and actually enhances the benefits of the treatment.

Medical micro dermabrasion can be used to treat scarring virtually anywhere on the body, and is helpful in the treatment of acne and open pores on the face. It is also used for its anti-ageing properties, as it can remove sun damage and smooth fine lines and wrinkles.

Micro dermabrasion generally requires multiple treatments over a period of time to achieve optimum results. How many treatments and how regularly you will require them depends on the condition being treated, so please consult your doctor.
