What is microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a procedure used to renew overall skin tone and texture. It can improve the appearance of sun damage, wrinkles, fine lines, age spots, acne scarring, melasma, and other skin-related concerns and conditions.

At Southface we use the medical microdermabrasion procedure which is the most advanced microdermabrasion treatment for the face and body.

Our microdermabrasion offers patients a non-invasive and full scope exfoliation treatment that is comfortable and above all, a rewarding aesthetic experience. Since microdermabrasion is based on mechanical exfoliation, the results are immediately visible after the first treatment, making way for smooth, softer skin and a refreshed complexion.

During your Microdermabrasion treatment you will receive a full face 45-minute medical microdermabrasion treatment combined with a rejuvenating cleanser and exfoliating masque treatment to leave your skin feeling clean, fresh, and revitalised.

Microdermabrasion is a safe, controlled system of intense exfoliation and resurfacing using ultra-fine crystals that rejuvenate the skin, the Crystal work as a gentle abrasive on the skin to remove dead skin cells layer by layer. The irregular shape of crystals helps to work hard to reach areas without any damage to the skin. The treatment is progressive and you will continue to see the result over the course of treatment.

The vacuum action of the machine stimulates circulation and promotes increased blood flow to the area. The production of collagen and elastin is stimulated resulting in a firmer, more youthful-looking skin.
