Dermaco Facials

Microdermabrasion is a safe, controlled treatment that intensely exfoliates and resurfaces the skin.  It’s the leading skincare treatment in the UK & Ireland for complete skin rejuvenation, available at over 1,600 leading salons. A fine jet of abrasive crystals gently removes dead skin cells layer by layer and a vacuum action lifts away the debris, stimulating the blood flow and encouraging collagen and elastin formation that results in firmer, revitalised and youthful looking skin. Wrinkles disappear, acne scarring is reduced and dull and tired skin is completely banished – sometimes after just one treatment.

Effects are usually seen after the first treatment, with ongoing improvements seen week after week during a course. Your therapist will perform an initial consultation and recommend a course length to you.  Usually, this will consist of 6 to 8 treatments, 7 to 10 days apart.  Skin problems such as acne or acne scarring, or deeper forehead wrinkles may require up to 20 weeks to achieve full improvements.  After a course is completed, a single monthly treatment will maintain your skin’s improvements.

A correctly performed procedure by a fully trained therapist will result in nothing more than the skin feeling tight, occasionally with a mild redness. It is important therefore to use a good moisturiser with an SPF. These effects will normally subside within 24 hours of the treatment.

Even extremely rare adverse reactions caused by improper use are only temporary. They include mild bruising or swelling that will subside within no more than 72 hours.

Sometimes the treatment can trigger a healing crisis in problematic skin, such as an acne breakout in acne sufferers or pimples for those with congested skin.

This is nothing to worry about and is in fact a sign that the treatment is taking affect – do not panic – this initial and temporary reaction will subside and great improvements will be seen over subsequent treatments.

Higher intensities can cause an uneven lightening effect in darker skin tones. Your therapist will use a lower intensity treatment on these skin types.
