MICRODERMABRASION
MICRODERMABRASION -
CRYSTAL AND DIAMOND
WHAT IS IT:
The use of crystals or a diamond-tipped wand to remove dead cells on the surface of the skin.
WHAT IS IT FOR:
-
Ageing and photo-damaged skin
-
Devitalised skin
-
To enhance other treatments or aid in the penetration of ingredients
WHAT HAPPENS:
A probe or wand is stroked over clean skin to remove superficial, dead skin cells.
Microdermabrasion is effective at smoothing the surface of the skin. We use either O2 crystal, where the skin is peppered with a stream of crystals and O2, or diamond-microdermabrasion, where a diamond-tipped head is massaged over the surface of the skin.
It can be combined with other treatments such as CITbyJacquelineParker®, LED Photofacials and other Medi-facials.
