Glycolic Treatments
Glycolic Acid is one of several alpha-hydroxy acids that are found in certain plants and fruit. Glycolic acid loosens the glue-like substance that holds layers of skin cells together. This enables a deep, gentle exfoliation of the skin and promotes circulation. Thickened and dead skin cells are sloughed away revealing a smoother texture and a healthier appearance while stimulating cell rejuvenation in the epidermis. Glycolic treatments are typically used in conjunction with Microdermabrasion treatments however a home-based treatment option is available with the Dermatech Glycolic Cream. For more information see the Dermatech website.
Microdermabrasion
The latest adjunct to skin resurfacing technologies. The technique of micro-dermabrasion or “skin polishing” is a simple and effective way of improving the quality of your skin.
Various micro-dermabrasion devices are approved by the FDA in the USA and its popularity has triggered avalanches of accolades from all ages and gender and is currently riding the crest of popularity in the United States and Europe.
We use the Dermatech diamond dermabrader, it is at the forefront of this latest technology. Unlike the older machines it does not use any loose salt or aluminium crystals but depends on the effect of sterile industrial diamonds to gently polish the skin in a controlled manner. By exfoliating and vacuuming the waste and the dead cells the skin is left looking and feeling totally refreshed.
The vacuum applied is of great advantage in stimulating the blood supply to the dermis and stimulating the natural skin turnover. The popularity of this treatment is easily understood when we ask our clients about their own response to the treatment, they see the results almost immediately and most clients are keen to complete the full course recommended which is one treatment every week for 6 weeks then maintained monthly.
Treatment can also be augmented with the addition of a glycolic/fruit gel prior to diamond micro-dermabrasion treatment.
You can expect the following changes to your skin:
The procedure takes a 30 minute appointment time and is a relaxing and pleasant experience.
Microdermabrasion is a useful conjunct treatment with the fotofacial. Recent medical research suggests that the effects from these two procedures are augmented by using them in combination.
We do a wide range of in-house treatments and offer free consults to anyone interested in having a skin analysis or just to talk about their concerns and treatment options.
