Microdermabrasion
I’d rather invest in my skin than a handbag – Georgia Louise
What is microdermabrasion
Medical grade aluminum oxide microcrystals are propelled at a high speed across the skin and then suctioned away and discarded. This creates a polishing effect and leaves the skin feeling remarkably smooth. Since microdermabrasion removes only the topmost layer of dead skin cells, it does not involve any pain or healing time.
Why is microdermabrasion called a “lunch-time peel”
Microdermabrasion takes 15 – 20 minutes to perform. It does not require any anaesthesia or bandaging and it does not leave any tell-tale marks on the skin. As a person can leave office during the lunch-break, get a microdermabrasion done and return to office before the break is over, it is often termed a “lunch-time peel”.
How does microdermabrasion work
The stimulated blood flow to the surface increases oxygenation, causing an enhancement of cell renewal and collagen re-growth. The gentle massaging action of the microdermabrasion treatment creates a flushing and cleansing effect below the skin surface, resulting in a vibrant healthy appearance and complexion.

What is a diamond peel?
A diamond peel is microdermabrasion done without using crystals. A state-of-the-art diamond studded handpiece is used to remove the superficial layer of cells from the surface of the skin, leaving it smooth and healthy.
Is it painful and time-consuming?
A diamond peel takes 15 – 20 minutes to perform, is totally painless and does not leave any tell-tale marks on the skin.
