Medical Microdermabrasion

 

This method achieves a very deep exfoliation. It is ideal for skins prone to acne or sun damaged skin. Microdermabrasion gives an improved skin texture and smooth appearance of the skin’s surface. This is immediately visible after the first treatment. This is also an effective treatment for scars and suitable for people with darker skins for whom other more radical methods of treatment are not recommended.

 

Indications

  • Retentionnel acne (blackheads) and enlarged pores.
  • Rough skin.
  • Scar treatment (face and body), for all skin types.

Technique

The necessary abrasive action is obtained by projecting the skin with micro-crystals of aluminium oxide which is immediately reabsorbed into the machine. The equipment that is produced for medical use is more powerful that those used in traditional beauty clinics, and can be used for other parameters, giving excellent results in the correction of scarring.

Programme

  • Course of 5 treatments.

Results

  • Smooth skin from the first treatment.
  • A radiant complexion from the first treatment.
  • Improvement of scarring.

Advantages of the technique

  • Painless (no anaesthetic necessary).
  • Patient can resume normal activities with no down time.
  • Only undesirable effect: transitory redness.

Interessting facts

  • Used as cleansing method, medical microdermabrasion (the most powerful method) has the advantage of being painless while being a more radical method than traditional skin cleaning
  • For scars, this treatment is often associated with other techniques and used in conjunction with specifically adapted programmes. This is discussed in a preliminary consultation with the specialist dermatologist at the Lémanic Clinic.
