Yes, microdermabrasion can be used for all skin types on all areas of the body and face.
You will see results immediately and with each subsequent treatment your skin will continue to look progressively better.
FaceforLife recommends a course of 8 treatments. People with acne or acne scarring may need more treatments. We recommend a monthly maintenance programme afterwards to sustain the results achieved.
Treatments are usually performed every 7 days.
After the treatment, the skin may feel tight with mild redness. Therefore it is important to use a good moisturiser. These effects normally subside within 24 hours of treatment.
Improper use or unhygienic conditions pose a risk when having microdermabrasion treatment. However, all FaceforLife therapists have received on-site training by our team of expert trainers in the use of the SkinBase MDPro machine and are certificated to confirm that they are competent to perform the programme.
The MDPro uses disposable nozzles, eliminating any risk of cross-contamination between clients.
There is minimal discomfort experienced during a microdermabrasion treatment and the patient is able to carry on with their normal day afterwards. Crystal microdermabrasion uses a completely inert and sterile compound with zero risk of allergic reaction.
