Treatment information from the brand
What it is
SkinBase Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive facial from SkinBase. A handheld device passes ultra-fine crystals over the skin while gentle suction lifts away dead surface cells, so the complexion underneath looks fresher and smoother.
How it works
Exfoliate
Fine crystals buff away dead skin cells.
Suction
Gentle vacuum clears the debris and boosts circulation.
Renew
SkinBase says the treatment encourages collagen and elastin, for firmer, brighter looking skin.
What to expect
Your skin is assessed, cleansed and prepared, then the handpiece moves over the face with light abrasion and suction. The treatment finishes with moisturiser and SPF. SkinBase describes it as pain free with no downtime, and a session takes around 30 to 45 minutes.
A course works best
SkinBase recommends a course of treatments for the best results, then maintenance sessions every 4 to 6 weeks.
