Course of treatment

Microdermabrasion may be very useful for people with active acne, mild acne discoloration, pick marks, and very superficial or raised acne scars. The reason the treatment is so effective is down to the process used during the procedure. On booking in for a course of treatments to help with acne and acne scarring, your therapist will be able to advise on the length of treatment required (as with most skin problems, the deeper the scarring or severe the acne more sessions of microdermabrasion will be needed).

Can microdermabrasion help with acne scars?

How it works

During a 30-40 minute treatment, thousands of tiny micro crystals are fired across the skin. Dead skin particles will be abraded away and a vacuum action will remove the debris. This dual action will both resurface the skin and stimulate the blood flow. Thus encouraging the skin to rejuvenate itself and produce collagen and elastin.

It’s the deficit of collagen in the specific region that gives rise to acne scarring. SkinBase microdermabrasion helps as it encourages collagen to form.

Dermatologists use Microdermabrasion for acne and acne scarring

Dermatologists use microdermabrasion to help unclog pores and clear acne. Often used in combination with gentle glycolic peels and medical acne extractions, microdermabrasion can help speed up acne clearing.

In short, give microdermabrasion a go if you’re suffering from acne and acne scarring. Many people see a dramatic difference following just one treatment. However, this is not always the case so be patient with your skin.  Give it time to change and improve during a course of treatments.

You are not alone, but you do deserve to get help with your acne and acne scarring. Make sure you visit your doctor or dermatologist too as they’re sure to have some great advice for you.

Client Testimonial: “Jodie is extremely professional and knowledgeable throughout the IPL treatment sessions. She explains the process and what to expect so that you are put at ease from the first consultation. During my IPL sessions, Jodie marked up the areas and avoided any moles or damaged skin, then preps using the cooler handle before a light shot. The light shot itself really doesn’t hurt, it’s done in seconds. The fact the skin is cooled first makes this an easy process to tolerate. I genuinely didn’t feel in pain at all and Jodie applied a lovely aloe balm to soothe the skin straight away. If anything I felt my appointments were more of a therapy as I knew I would be hair free come my holiday. After each session I came away feeling the progress getting better and better and by week 5 there was hardly any hair growth. I didn’t feel the need to shave anymore. I felt more confident and there is much less maintenance at home now which means I have more time for other things. I would highly recommend IPL hair removal by SkinBase and with Jodie as she made me feel at ease from the moment I asked about it and the difference it makes is life changing for someone who wasn’t so confident in her skin. I can’t wait for Summer and my holiday. Thanks Jodie & SkinBase.”
