Turn over a new leaf this fall by ditching dull skin for good.
Exfoliating is undoubtedly the best route to complexion perfection and if you’re looking for a top notch in-salon treatment, microdermabrasion is your best bet.
“A good exfoliator used once a week will help keep the skin looking fresh and bright,” confirms top skincare aesthetician Vicki Smith from Absolute Aesthetics.
“For that extra boost, a microdermabrasion treatment once a month will enhance the results further,” she adds. “Applied daily, a vitamin C serum gives the skin a bright, healthy appearance thanks to its antioxidant properties.”
Loved by celebrities including Kim Kardashian and Madonna, medical microdermabrasion involves using a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead, outermost layer of skin to reveal new, living cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.
At the same time, the underlying epidermis is also stimulated by the abrasion and the vacuum.
This promotes new collagen which thickens the dermis and improves resistance to ageing.
“There shouldn’t be any side effects from microdermabrasion, although the client’s face might appear mildly rosy and they may experience some warmth and an increased sensitivity for a few days after treatment,” advises Vicki.
“If it’s instant effects you’re after, the treatment shows an immediate effect after just one session. But improved effects can be achieved by combining the treatment with a skin peel,” she adds.
