Microdermabrasion is a treatment which uses an abrasive substance to physically remove the top layer of skin known as the Stratum Corneum, and loosen and remove dead cells on the skin's surface. The procedure has results similar to that of a peel as it removes the layer of skin that gives a dull, lacklustre appearance. After a microdermabrasion treatment, the skin looks fresh, healthy and more youthful and there is a definite improvement with the skin's texture and tone. Once the Startum Corneum has been removed, the skin is then able to absorb topical products much more freely, and is therefore a very successful anti-ageing and acne treatment.

What Can It Treat?

Scarring
Stretch Marks
Lines, Wrinkles and Furrows
Poor Skin Tone and Texture
Pigmentation

Microdermabrasion At Cap City Cosmetic

At Cap City Cosmetic, we use the Salt A-Peel microdermabrasion system which has its own unique benefits. The Salt A-Peel uses salt as an abrasive which acts as a natural healer on the skin, and has positive effects when dealing with acne and stretch marks amongst other complaints. The salt dissolves in water, and therefore avoids the risk of clogging the pores with manmade materials.

Unlike other machines, the Salt A-Peel uses positive pressure to remove the dead skin instead of negative. This means that the salt is blasted onto the skin and not vacuumed, resulting in far less tissue damage.

The Salt A-Peel microdermabrasion treatment is then uniquely followed by Dermaphoresis. This procedure involves using ultrasound to massage a unique glycolic mask into the skin which chemically exfoliates the skin from within. As the skin is now more responsive to topical products, the ultrasound drives the product further in to promote cell regrowth. Patients who wish to reverse the signs of ageing may wish to have the luxury Salt A-Peel, in which a cocktail of powerful and highly effective skincare products are massaged into the skin with the ultrasound after the glycolic mask to ensure deep penetration of their highly active ingredients.

After The Treatment

After Microdermabrasion, some patients experience a rosy flush on their skin, but this is only temporary and calms usually within five minutes. Make up can be applied immediately if desired. It is important to protect the treated skin from the sun for at least seven days following the treatment, as the removal of the Stratum Corneum renders the skin more at risk from sun damage. We recommend using a SPF 30+.
