Microdermabrasion is an exfoliating treatment. It removes dead skin cells and dirt from the surface of the skin. A stream of tiny crystals exfoliates the top layer of skin and debris away. If you want to decide ‘is Microdermabrasion worth it?’, first you must decide why you want MD. Let’s take a look at exactly what this award-winning treatment can treat.

MD for Acne & Scarring
When having Microdermabrasion for acne and acne scarring, the nonallergenic crystals exfoliate the skin and resurface the epidermis. A vacuum then removes any dirt, dead skin cells and debris that were clogging the pores. This treatment reduces the production of sebum, and helps active acne to heal. It also helps minimise the risk of scarring.
MD for Fine Lines & Wrinkles
Microdermabrasion works as a targeted and effective treatment for fine lines and wrinkles by removing the top layer of aged skin cells. The treatment process also increases the production of collagen, elastin and hyaluronic acid to plump the skin from within.
MD for Dull, Tired Skin
The cell renewal process becomes less efficient as we age. Dead skin cells remain on the skin for longer than usual, which prevents the skin from reflecting light. Therefore, your skin has a “duller” appearance. The exfoliating crystals remove this layer and encourage the cell renewal process. Cell turnover speeds up and skin looks brighter.
MD for Stretch Marks
Stretch marks form because of overactive hormones. These restrict the skin from producing collagen and elastin fibres. These fibres are responsible for keeping growing skin taut. SkinBase Microdermabrasion targets the problem area and stimulates elastin/collagen, so uneven texture and discolouration improves.
MD for Pigmentation
SkinBase Microdermabrasion gently blasts the fine crystals across the uneven skin tone. This helps to remove or lighten unwanted pigment – to reveal the even skin tone underneath.
