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 a choice of 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.
