Microdermabrasion treatments

Microdermabrasion is an increasingly popular exfoliation technique and an excellent alternative to costlier and more involved procedures like plastic surgery or botox injections. It has medical benefits, with the potential to alleviate the symptoms of acne, vascular lesions and fragile capillaries, among other complaints.

Improve skin quickly

Essentially, the technique is the application of inert crystals to an area of skin. The procedure targets only the outermost layer. The loss of skin cells triggers a response from the body, which rushes to produce more, improving the health and overall look of the skin. 

Mild swelling and redness are the likeliest side effects, and these should clear up after a few days.

A semi-permanent method, they work by plumping the skin: this clears away any imperfections in the skin such as wrinkles and creases. 

A dermal filling procedure takes about 30 minutes to complete.

Over the years the collagen in your skin starts to lose its strength and elasticity, leaving fine line wrinkles, and even acne scars and stretch marks. Using dermaroller on the skin leads to new collagen deposition, resulting in firmer skin.

Based on this principle, Dermaroller is a therapeutic puncturing of the skin using a roller studded with tiny needles. These microscopic holes in the skin induce collagen formation in the skin, making it firmer and less prone to fine line wrinkles.

This process may sound painful, but a local anaesthetic administered before the process begins, as well as the skill of trained doctors and nurses administering the treatment means this treatment can be given with a minimum of pain and discomfort.

The skin contains melanin-producing cells called melanocytes. Melanin is the substance that provides the skin with its colour. 

What is hyperpigmentation?

Skin with excessive melanin is known as hyperpigmented skin, which often results in dark patches on the skin. These dark patches develop slowly and they can appear anywhere on the body.

The causes of hyperpigmentation include skin inflammation, the use of certain types of medications, sun exposure and hormonal changes or changes in hormone sensitivity.
