Medical Microdermabrasion

A modern and safe alternative to chemical and laser peels with no recovery time.

Medical microdermabrasion originated in Italy in the 1990’s and has since been refined in the US. It is a safe non-surgical resurfacing procedure which is commomly used to treat

    * Acne Prone Skin
    * Blackheads & Whiteheads
    * Oily skin
    * Fine Lines & Wrinkles
    * Sun Damaged Skin
    * Dry or Patchy Skin


It is an ideal treatment for young and old, male and female and for all skin types. Although mainly used on the facial area it may also be performed on the chest, back, shoulders or other areas as required.

How it works
At Bath Facial Aesthetics we use a Medical Microdermabrasion system designed by Dermagenesis in the US. The system uses a highly controlled flow of fine, medical grade crystals to remove the dead, outermost layer of skin. This skin exfoliation process reveals the new, living skin cells that are soft, smooth and receptive to nutrients.

The procedure is performed by using a hand piece that is passed over the skin. This evenly removed the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin, while 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 the effects of aging.

Before and after
The microdermabrasion procedure takes approximately thirty minutes, depending on the skin condition and the area to be treated. Many will notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment. The long-term benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable.
