Microdermabrasion Treatments (Body)

Microdermabrasion isn’t just suitable for facial rejuvenation, but practically anywhere on the body, which might come as a breath of fresh air for those of us with sensitive skin.

Microdermabrasion is widely known as a gentle procedure that offers results for a number of skin concerns, including the reduction of fine lines and wrinkles, and superficial skin blemishes. With minimal disruption to the skin, this is a very effective skin rejuvenation treatment that leaves all skin types looking and feeling youthful and radiant after just one simple treatment session.

Frequently asked questions

How much does microdermabrasion cost?

Depending on the size of the area you wish to treat, microdermabrasion for the body ranges from £XXX - £XXX. Without first offering a full consultation at North West Aesthetic, it would be difficult to give an exact price at this stage. Following an in-depth assessment of your needs and expectations, a full quotation will be provided.

How does it work?

Through the use of a unique technique and the most advanced technology, a gentle stream of fine crystals is directed across the skin using a handheld device, lifting dead skin cells without causing any pain or discomfort. A vacuum is also used to catch the skin cells as they shed from the surface of the skin.

What results can I expect?

Beautifully fresh, glowing skin is the eventual outcome of this type of treatment. This skin renewal comes into full effect as the side effects of the treatment subside.

How long is the procedure?

Your treatment time can vary from as little as 15 – 30 minutes depending on the size of the target area, making for a very quick skin treatment that can be worked into even the busiest routine.

How many treatments do I need?

Results are seen after just one treatment session, although the best outcome is usually seen when patients schedule between 4 – 6 sessions at regular intervals.

What is the recovery time?

Due to the gentle nature of this type of treatment, no significant downtime is required and your skin will heal of its own accord, adding to the convenience of microdermabrasion.

What are the side effects?

Dead skin cells will continue to shed initially after your treatment, leaving your skin looking and feeling dry and flaky for a few days. However, this should quickly subside, as should any redness, bruising, swelling or tenderness. Be sure to protect your skin from harmful UV rays by applying appropriate sun protection, as your treated skin will be more sensitive to sun damage post-treatment. With that said, sun protection is just as important at all other times.

Who is suitable and not suitable for microdermabrasion?

Patients with darker skin tones might benefit better from a skin peel, although this will be determined during your consultation. Microdermabrasion is usually ideal for both normal and sensitive skin, used to minimise the signs of premature ageing, pigmentation concerns, and for decongesting the skin.
