Microdermabrasion
Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive and non-surgical treatment used to exfoliate the skin. The tool used for this procedure has a diamond shaped tip that brushes the skin’s surface along with a gentle vacuum.
Dead cells are removed through microdermabrasion resulting in soft skin as well as the regeneration of new skin cells. At Absolute Medi Spa, we ensure that our clients are getting the best results where we combine microdermabrasion, with the option to add on extractions or a facial mask.
Our Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive treatment which gently extracts cells to treat imperfections on the surface of the skin such as acne, scarring, blemishes, sun damage, pores, pigmentation, blackheads, stretch marks, and wrinkles. The procedure is performed by a gentle gliding motion across the face and or body to stimulate collagen and elastin fibres while the vacuum stimulates micro-circulation for better blood supply for healthier and newer looking skin.
Who can benefit?
Microdermabrasion is for everyone! Both men and women of any skin type or colour and who are looking for healthier and newer looking skin can benefit from this treatment.

What improvements can I expect?
The results to expect after undergoing microdermabrasion treatment are softer, smoother, brighter looking skin. You can also expect to see less of color pigmentation, age spots, acne scarring and large pores. If you had clogged pores due to acne with white and blackheads, you will see an improvement! New collagen is stimulated through this procedure resulting in firmer looking skin.
What areas can be treated?
Areas that are usually treated include the face, neck, chest, shoulders, back, arms and hands.
How long does each treatment take?
The microdermabrasion treatment is generally performed in 15 to 30 minutes depending on the areas being treated.
How many treatments will I need?
It is recommended that a series of about 6 sessions are performed, 2-4 weeks apart.
Can I benefit from just one treatment?
Benefits can be seen from one treatment of microdermabrasion, especially if you have an upcoming special event. You would certainly be left with smoother, glowing skin instantly. Also, because it is a non-invasive procedure (much milder than a light chemical peel), no recovery time is required. You can expect to presume your regular activities immediately post-treatment.
Can I have this treatment in combination with other procedures?
Microdermabrasion can be combined with other anti-aging procedures such as chemical peels, intense pulsed light (IPL or BBL), BOTOX COSMETICS and injectable fillers (i.e. Juvederm, Restylane, etc). To maintain the effects of the procedures however, it is recommended that sun protection and anti-aging products are used regularly. The therapists at Absolute Medi Spa and their experienced staff can customize a treatment plan for you.
