This treatment deeply purifies the skin and unclog the pores. Using Microdermabrasion, Chemical Peel, LED Light Therapy, we can heal your skin to a better state with some sessions.

Microdermabrasion, meaning literally ‘small skin wearing away’ is an intense exfoliating cosmetic procedure that uses fine crystals to buff away the very outer layer of skin cells and remove dead skin cells to reveal the fresh, new skin beneath. Skincare products can absorb more readily into the skin following treatment.There are multiple benefits to the skin meaning microdermabrasion is the perfect solution for a number of skin concerns including fine lines and wrinkles, congested skin, age spots, stretch marks, and dull, tired looking skin. Microdermabrasion benefits include; deep exfoliation for clean, clear skin, improved skin tone and texture, stimulates collagen and elastin production and speeds up cell renewaIt is also very effective for more stubborn skin concerns including acne, acne scarring and pigmentation.

Microdermabrasion for acne sufferers is very effective, unblocking clogged pores, increasing blood flow to the area and promoting healing to remove pigmentation caused by spots. Microdermabrasion is perfect for all skin types and a number of different skin concerns. So whether you suffer from acne, have sensitive skin or your skin is normal, you will benefit from the treatment. The common side effects of microdermabrasion include mild tenderness, swelling or redness but these will usually go away within a few hours of treatment.Microdermabrasion aftercare is also important to achieve the best results from a course of treatments. Your skin will benefit from regular applications of moisturiser and use an SPF to protect the freshly exfoliated skin from the elements. 

Chemical peel used during this treatment combines the alpha hydroxy acid (AHA) mandelic acid with the beta hydroxy acid (BHA) salicylic acid. It is characterized by its keratolytic, astringent, antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects. It is also known by its function of balancing the sebum production of the sebaceous gland and the neutralization of propionibacterium acnes, responsible for acne infection.Salycilic acid has an important comedolytic, astringent and antimicrobial effect. When applied in high concentration it produces a frost or white epidermolysis on comedones and acneiform eruptions that allows the acid to penetrate from the follicular epithelium to the sebaceous gland. It is used with great effectiveness in acne, oily skin and seborrhea. Acne blemishes can be safely removed as it prevents bacterial spread by manipulating them.

Mandelic acid has a bigger molecular structure than other AHAs so it penetrates more slowly into the stratum corneum and requires a longer exposure time. For this reason it does not cause irritation or pruritus on the skin. Further it increases collagen, elastin and glycosaminoglycans synthesis in the papillary dermis. It also posseses an antimicrobial action.

Anti- acne peel is followed by blue light therapy because wavelengths of blue light have an antimicrobial effect, killing bacteria on the skin that gathers in pores and oil glands and causes acne breakouts. Blue light can also help eliminate free radicals that oxidize on the face. 

Treatment finishes by application of anti bacterial serum and cream especially formulated for acne prone skin.
