Medical Microdermabrasion Treatment in Canterbury Kent.microdermabrasion-2

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion helps improve the texture and appearance of the skin using a stream of fine micro particles which partially removes the outermost layer of the skin and stimulates new cell growth, visibly reducing fine lines, wrinkles, pigmentation, and stretch marks, making the skin far smoother with a more youthful glow. It is a beauty treatment that gives visible results.

In the Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic we use a medical grade microdermabrasion machine with a pulsed oxygen feed. The pulsed oxygen pressure is used to push the active ingredients into the deeper layers of the skin to stimulate cell renewal.

It provides a safe and effective treatment for:

  • Reduction of fine lines and wrinkles

  • Pigmentation and age spots

  • Sun damaged skin

  • Loss of elasticity

  • Smokers skin

  • Acne and scarring

  • Stretch marks

The treatments are provided by our therapists. There is a bespoke range of microdermabrasion treatments e.g. anti-acne, anti-pigmentation, energising, anti-cellulite etc. Some stretch marks respond well to this treatment and some people can achieve a reduction in the appearance of brown age spots.

What are Microdermabrasion treatments like?

Each treatment takes approximately 45 minutes. There is usually minimal pinkness and many will notice a healthy radiant look and a firmer feel immediately after the 1st treatment. A course of 3 - 6 treatments at one to two week intervals is recommended for optimum results.

Who is it suitable for?

Medical Microdermabrasion is a safe and effective procedure, suitable for both men and women of all ages and skin types. It can be performed on the back, shoulders or chest, hands as well as the usual facial area. The MD procedure is sometimes performed in combination with chemical peels to enhance the results. It is also carried out immediately preceding laser treatment for acne and acne scars.

What is Microdermabrasion not suitable for?

Microdermabrasion is not suitable for deeper wrinkles or scars (where Botox, fillers, laser resurfacing and Dermaroller treatments may be more appropriate), deep pigmentation or broken veins on the skin. Separate information is available for these.

Maintaining the results

We recommend daily use of a broad-spectrum UVA and UVB sunscreen with a Sun Protection Factor (SPF) of at least 30, and to apply an antioxidant such as the SkinCeuticals CE Ferulic or Phloretin serums as the most effective way to protect the skin from future sun damage (photodamage). SkinCeuticals provides effective skincare solutions through dermatologists, plastic surgeons, medi-spas, and other skincare professionals. It provides a complete range of products scientifically proven to benefit your skin. The full range of skin care products is available at the Canterbury Skin and Laser Clinic.

How much does it cost?

£60 per session of medical microdermabrasion, £330 for a course of 6 sessions.

£125 per session of microdermabrasion with a chemical peel, £360 for a course of 3.
