The SkinBase™ Facial microdermabrasion treatment also known as MDA, uses a stream of non-allergenic crystals to remove your skin’s outermost layers of dead cells. We use the handset to direct the stream of crystal over the treatment area and, where necessary, target specific zones. The handset then uses a mild suction to draw away the crystal and skin debris to reveal your new and improved complexion.

The SkinBase™ Facial is chemical free and non-invasive yet achieves amazing results revealing younger, healthier looking skin from the very first treatment. The skin’s appearance is further improved through increased collagen & elastin production as your body produces a new layer of skin.

Effectiveness

A single SkinBase™ treatment can remove up to three times the number of dead skin cells in a single session than other exfoliating treatments.

Better skin for longer

Microdermabrasion encourages cell renewal, which means your skin will benefit from improved elasticity, a smoother texture and reduced signs of ageing.

Zero recovery time

Unlike many skin rejuvenation treatments, microdermabrasion is non-invasive, so requires zero recovery time. It is often referred to as the ‘lunchtime facial’ because of the convenience and effectiveness.

Flexible for all skin types

The treatment settings are widely adjustable; meaning therapists are able to tailor the treatment to individual skin types and problems.

Everyone can benefit

Microdermabrasion is suitable for all skin types, and therapists will assess your skin before advising on the number of treatments you will need.

After the treatment, the skin may feel tight with mild redness. Therefore, it is important that you use a good moisturiser. These effects normally subside within 24-36 hours of treatment.

Sometimes microdermabrasion can trigger a healing crisis in problematic skin, such as an acne breakout in acne sufferers or pimples for those with congested skin. This is a sign that the treatment is taking effect. This temporary reaction will subside and great improvements will be seen over subsequent treatments. You also may experience a small amount of dryness or flakiness post treatment, its important not to pick but too allow you skin to heal naturally and to continue to apply hydration products as recommended by your skincare specialist.

Those who are pregnant or who have rosacea unfortunately cannot have MDA.
