Microdermabrasion - A Safe and easy alternative

The Benefits
For years, skin problems such as acne, fine lines and sun damage have been treated with lasers and chemical peels. Now there is a modern safe and virtually painless alternative... DERMA GENESIS® Microdermabrasion.

With over a decade of success around the world, the microdermabrasion procedure has been used to treat millions of satisfied people.

The benefits of microdermabrasion include:
• Less pain or discomfort
• Minimal risk
• Suitable for all skin types
• No anaesthesia required
• No recovery time
• No hazardous chemicals

Because the microdermabrasion procedure is performed under the supervision of a certified professional, patients can be confident they will be treated with the utmost care.

Suitable for everyone
Medical microdermabrasion is a safe, non-surgical resurfacing procedure performed by a certified professional.
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 and shoulders as required.
Medical microdermabrasion is an effective skin rejuvenation procedure that requires no downtime, allowing patients to resume normal activities immediately after the procedure. The procedure is extremely popular because it is painless yet effective with minimal redness, swelling or irritation.

How it works
DERMA GENESIS® Microdermabrasion 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 the operator passes over the skin. This evenly removes the stratum corneum, the outermost layer of skin:
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 ageing.

• Hyperpigmentation
• Oily skin
• Dry or patchy skin



Before and After
The microdermabrasion procedure takes approximately 30 minutes, depending on skin condition, the area to be treated and the desired outcome.
Many will notice improvements in the texture and appearance of their skin immediately after the first treatment. Long term benefits of multiple procedures can be remarkable.
