How does microdermabrasion work?

Microdermabrasion, a top anti-ageing treatment offered by leading beauty salons, including our own in the Hills District, harnesses a unique combination of gentle vacuum suction and diamond-tipped exfoliation to rejuvenate the skin. This premier skincare solution, especially effective with our Asap microplus+ machine, accelerates the removal of dead skin cells, promoting new cell growth and collagen renewal for a youthful glow. Ideal for addressing various skin concerns, microdermabrasion is a non-invasive, painless procedure that polishes and deeply cleanses the skin, reducing the appearance of wrinkles, unclogging pores, and enhancing skin texture across any body part. With no downtime required, it sets the stage perfectly for the deeper penetration of active ingredients during subsequent sonophoresis treatments, as recommended by skincare experts at www.asapskinproducts.com. This process revitalises your complexion and ensures optimal absorption of skincare products, making it a cornerstone treatment for anyone seeking to maintain radiant, healthy skin in the beauty-conscious Hills District.

What does microdermabrasion feel like?

Imagine a vacuum cleaner for your face! You’ll feel a light vacuum suction feeling over your face, with a slight abrasive tip that gently yet deeply exfoliates your skin. Some people even say it can feel like a cats tongue licking them, but with suction.

Do you use Diamond tips or Crystal microdermabrasion?

Our ASAP microplus+ machine uses diamond head microdermabrasion.

What is the difference between Diamond and Crystal microdermabrasion?

Diamond microdermabrasion is newer than the older crystal method. The tip of the microdermabrasion device is coated in a hard crushed-diamond-like substance (it is not made of actual diamonds) which is passed over the skin, and combined with the slight vacuum suction of the machine, it’s effective at removing the dead skin cells as well as the dirt and debris in the skin.

Is microdermabrasion painful?

Microdermabrasion is a safe and painless treatment when it’s performed by a trained technician.

Does microdermabrasion remove blackheads?

Microdermabrasion can gently yet effectively remove blackheads, acne and congestion. If you do require extractions for more stubborn blackheads, extra time will need to be allowed.

Will a microdermabrasion help with skin wrinkles?

With ongoing treatments, Microdermabrasion can help with fine lines and wrinkles. It is also helps with pigmentation, open pores and for the rejuvenation of dull tired skin.

How often can I get a microdermabrasion?

The treatment can be done as often as fortnightly or up to 8 weeks apart, depending on your desired outcome.

How long do the results last?

Results typically last about a month, depending on your age and homecare products your using in your skincare routine at home.

Do I need more than one treatment?

One microdermabrasion facial will leave you with noticeably smoother, tighter and more hydrated skin. It will also relieve you of dry itchy skin and help to clear up blackheads and breakouts you may have. That being said, One microdermabrasion will not leave you with permanent or lasting results.

We normally recommend at least a course of 6 treatments to leave you with the proper end result to see long term results, especially when your concerns are pigmentation, fine lines and scarring as they cannot be cured in one treatment.
