Microdermabrasion and Peels at BeauSkin Laser Clinic

For soft, smoother looking skin!
Approximately every 28 days we create a new layer of skin. As new cells form they push their way to the surface with the dead and damaged cells settling on the surface. This can cause enlarged and clogged pores, a bumpy uneven texture, and a dull appearance.

Microdermabrasion is quick, safe form of exfoliation of all skin types and colours with no downtime and virtually no discomfort.

We also offer a variety of professional grade facial peels. Call us today and ask how you can enjoy the appearance of fresh smooth skin.

FAQ - Some frequently asked questions about microdermabrasion:

Q: How Does Microdermabrasion work?
A: It is a gentle exfoliation performed with a jet of fine mineral crystals passing over the skin's surface by creating a gentle vacuum. The crystals lay on the skin along with the dead/damaged skin cells. The crystals gently exfoliate approximately 20-25 microns of dead skin on the outmost layer.

Q: What body areas can be treated with microdermabrasion?
A: Most common areas of treatment are the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, hands, knees, and elbows. Conditions which are addressed with microdermabrasion include: face and body peeling; lined, wrinkled or damaged skin; dull congested, thick or blemished skin; active acne; scar improvement; hyper pigmentation.

Q: How many microderabrasion treatments will I need and how long does each treatment take?
A: This treatment is meant to be progressive, not aggressive. Generally, results are more noticeable after the third treatment. Treatments are usually performed every 7-10 days or every two weeks of a series of 6 treatments. Each treatment takes 15-40 minutes, depending on the body area. The treatment is applied to clean skin, after which a moisturizing cream with sun block is usually applied.

Q: Are there any side effects to microdermabrasion?
A: Since there is minimal discomfort and no healing time, you can resume normal activities immediately after a treatment. You may experience a slight tingling and the skin may feel tighter, as if exposed to the wind or the sun. Your skin may appear slightly flushed. This generally fades in 12 -24 hours.
