Microdermabrasion for acne
How does it work? What can it do for you?
A fine abrasion coupled with suction, gently removes loose, dead and diseased cells and also empties out blocked pores in a manner similar to a vacuum cleaner. These plugs and areas of thickened skin prevent the infection from resolving and once they are gone improved circulation brings oxygen and nutrients to refresh and regenerate your skin.
With repeated treatments this results in a smoothing of skin surface irregularities and the renewal of healthy skin over the top of problem areas.
Who can benefit from Microdermabrasion?
Microdermabrasion is effective for the treatment of acne, acute acne and acne scars. It is also an effective treatment for open pores on the face, surgical scars, any raised scar and even Keloid scars, as well as rough, sun-damaged skin.
There are very few situations when microdermabrasion cannot be used apart from where you have recently used the drug Roaccutane.
What happens in a typical treatment? What will you feel during treatment?
Microdermabrasion can take as little as a few minutes to up to an hour depending on the size of the area being treated and is effectively a ““lunch break” treatment. No anaesthetic is required and you will usually be treated reclining comfortably.
How will you feel after treatment?
Both phases of Microdermabrasion are not uncomfortable and can be done without any anaesthetic. Some of our patients have reported finding it pleasant in the knowledge that it is improving the health of their skin. When treatment is completed the skin has a red healthy glow due to the increased circulation. This usually settles down to a normal healthy look within a day or so.
Because such a fine layer of skin is removed there is no bleeding.
When will you see results? What do you need to do after the treatment to ensure the best result?
You will see results virtually straightaway, however the full result will not be evident until the fresh new skin that has been stimulated covers the area. The usual recovery time for a completely normal skin appearance is around 24 hours.
How many sessions are necessary?
This depends on the nature of your problem and the doctor's advice, but we usually find a series of 5-10 treatments to be effective.
While this information is intended to give you a good overall picture of how Microdermabrasion may help your acne, your situation is unique. The best way to find out if this is the right answer for you is to come and see us. There are no sales pitches and we will explain all the options and help you to make the right decision.

How much does it cost?
We understand you are curious to know how much the procedure you are thinking of having might cost.
The truth is that with many procedures your cost can fall within a fairly wide range. While we do offer online consultations for liposuction we believe it is unethical to give a cost estimate without gaining a proper understanding of your needs.
Your body, your skin and your expectations are different to anybody else's. Some patients have been attracted by an initial quote only to find the final price was a lot higher. Sometimes these initial estimates do not cover such elements as theatre fees or the cost of an anaesthetist for example.
Our philosophy is simple. We want you to be fully informed, we want you to understand all your options and have one accurate price quoted once. Over more than 20 years of cosmetic practice we have found that this is what most of our clients want too.
