microdermabrasion skin resurfacing & LED Phototherapy

Microdermabrasion treatments use a minimally abrasive  diamond tipped instrument to gently exfoliate dead or damaged skin cells. it can reveal smoother brighter skin and reduce the appearance of fine lines, age spots or light scars. You'll likely need multiple treatment sessions to achieve your desired goal.

A microdermabrasion re-surfacing facial performs 5 actions:

• Correction - the diamond head gently removes the epidermal cells layer by layer correcting surface irregularities.
• Stimulation - The combined abrasion and vacuum action stimulates microcirculation, thus improving nutrient delivery to the fibroblast cells producing more collagen and elastin.
• Isometric exercise - the suction effect on the underlying facial muscles results in an overall lifting effect.
• Lymphatic drainage - the suction increases the lymph flow is increased removal of waste products.
• Improved product penetration - after the treatment topical products penetrate more easily to the dermis rather than having to penetrate through a layer of dead skin.

This is a fantastic adjunct to some of the other ReNu services that we offer. for example if you are considering fat dissolving treatment; having a skin resurfacing treatment 4-7 days  after your fat dissolving will improve the lymphatic drainage of the dissolved fat cells and aid improvement of skin tone / reduce the appearance of stretch marks and improve cellulite in the treated area.

This is also a lovely adjunct to have just before a skin boosting treatment, the removal of the surface dead cells will allow for the beauty of the hyaluronic acid booster to really glow and allow maximum skin rejuvenation.

Corrective treatment around the delicate eye skin can be adjunct to our eye mesotherapy boosters, reducing puffiness and fine lines whist the injectables brighten and boost the skin.

If used in isolation, a course of approximately six weekly sessions (30mins each)  will achieve the desired results. there-after, the effects of the microdermabrasion facial should be maintained with a monthly resurfacing and collagen mask boost. (45mins) 

Some people consider AHA acid peels. But chemical peels may cause irritation which can lead to post treatment hyperpigmentation. Chemical peels may have a more-long lasting results than microdermabrasion depending on the concentration, but in turn, the cost is higher and post procedure downtime greater.

Children over the age of 12, with no upper age limit can have the treatment. A superb treatment for teenagers with congested skin, blackheads and acne on their face or back. 

If you have severe acne, cold sore outbreaks other type of active skin infection - then microdermabrasion could spread any bacterial / viral infections. Clients taking steroids / roaccutane/accutane medication should not have this treatment. If clients have a lot of broken blood vessels / active rosacea - then microdermabrasion over the affected area will be avoided by the practitioner.

Also known as LED light therapy is a non-invasive method to promote collagen production with the power of light energy to leave your skin rejuvenated and looking youthful, supple and radiant. During the procedure your skin is exposed to a variety of different kind of light; near-infrared light, blue light and red light. LED phototherapy also speeds up the body's natural healing process.

It can have many benefits for the skin including anti-ageing, reduction of redness and inflammation and killing bacteria associated with conditions such as acne, skin pigmentation and sun damage and skin conditions such as rosacea, scarring,  eczema, dermatitis and rosacea.
