Microdermabrasion for acne scars? 

Microdermabrasion for acne scars has become the first choice for many people searching for a treatment to help correct atrophic scarring. Acne breakouts can cause serious damage to the follicle wall. To combat this, the skin triggers a healing process, and produces new collagen fibres. Atrophic acne scars form as a result of too little collagen. Whilst a spot can last for a week or so, the scarring left behind can last for months – or even forever.
 
During a Microdermabrasion facial, a handset passes a fine jet of abrasive crystals over your skin. The crystals gently exfoliate away any dead cells and impurities. Thereby, removing any surface imperfections and stimulating cell renewal. These benefits have a double action effect against scarring.
 

Microdermabrasion for pitted scars

During treatment, microdermabrasion removes any discoloured marks across the skin. Microdermabrasion for acne scars works by helping your skin to replace those old cells with fresh new skin cells, leaving the skin tone even. As visible scars on the skin fade, the sessions treat texture of the skin too. Any pitted acne scars caused by pimples, those that are impossible to cover with makeup and can lead to serious feelings of insecurity, can be reduced with Microdermabrasion. During the facial, a vacuum gently sucks away the abrasive crystals and dead skin. The vacuum action helps to stimulate collagen production in the dermis, plumping the skin and effectively ‘filling in’ the uneven, pitted texture. Therefore, Microdermabrasion for pitted acne scars will leave you with glowing, even skin.
 

Benefits of Microdermabrasion – 

There are lots of benefits of using microdermabrasion for acne scars. Microdermabrasion is a painless, non-invasive treatment that requires no recovery or down time. Treating acne scarring can be a convenient, relaxing moment during the week instead of an uncomfortable, time consuming process. As the combination of exfoliation and suction promotes blood flow and stimulates the cell renewal process, the skin remains clean and clear – allowing better skin for longer. A course of microdermabrasion for acne scars will improve the skin appearance and texture. Unblocking pores and calming skin to achieve a glowing, revitalised complexion.

Testimonial: “JC was so low, suicidal at points. Sore, red, angry, his skin was awful, we had tried everything and doctors you name it. We reached out to Becky, who was wonderful. My son was quiet and withdrawn, lacked confidence and self esteem, and locked himself away from the world. Becky booked us in for a consultation to discuss different options of treatments and we decided the new hydro treatment would be the best option. We started the course and JC was nervous but Becky was great with him talking him through everything, step by step! As we went each time JC’s skin got better and better, but also the difference in him was huge, he was gaining confidence, shoulders back, head held high. We have watched his skin change from this red, aggressive, angry skin that was sore, acne was debilitating to him but now he is confident, holds his head up high and has even got his first job! We are so proud. When we met Becky I felt confident she would help us get his skin better and back on track but what has actually happened is skin looks amazing but to see our son gain confidence has been the biggest win! Teens often get pushed aside, put on string meds and told “it’s just your age” but this isn’t what they want to hear, but The SkinBase treatments Becky has done has changed his life! We cannot thank you enough Becky! JC is continuing with the treatments as it still gets the odd breakouts but the scarring is still improving week in week out. The hydro Facial is just amazing and we cannot recommend it enough and of course Becky and her passion for skin and helping people is wonderful!”
