Microdermabrasion Facial at SkinRevision Brisbane

Regularly we combine a microdermabrasion facial a with a chemical peel to get more advanced exfoliating treatments. The combination of superficial Peels (e.g. Lactic, Vitamin A, Glycolic or BHA) delivers a more refined and efficient treatment. We finish the facial with an antioxidant or moisture infusion with the sonography, leaving your skin feeling fresh and revived.

What Does Microdermabrasion Do?

Microdermabrasion works by sloughing surface skin cells to exfoliate dry or rough outer layers. Deeper exfoliation in clinic ranges in potency, with micros, considered a first level treatment. Exfoliation is a cornerstone of healthy skin. It is a versatile treatment, targeting areas such as the face, neck and décolletage. Achieve a higher level exfoliation by combining Microderm with peels and extractions.

Does Microdermabrasion Work?

The answer is yes, as long as you are the right candidate. Microdermabrasion is excellent to help settle acne. It also works for minor skin problems or imperfection. Combined with peels they do improve surface texture, tone and skin colour concerns.

  • reduce skin pigmentation
  • minimise the appearance of fine lines and wrinkles,
  • lift dull skin tone,
  • reduce open or enlarged pores
  • help clear blackheads.

However, Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure. It will not remedy acne scars, sagging skin or established wrinkles and it cannot correct facial creases or folds. However, these can be addressed with resurfacing, skin tightening, dermal fillers, anti-wrinkle injections and sometimes facelifts.

We offer a consultation at the outset, to assess your skin, and we will honestly tell you what will help with your skin bother. Call Us on 3350 5447 To Book A Free Consultation.

Microdermabrasion for Acne

Microdermabrasion is excellent for helping to eliminate hormonal breakouts, pimples and acne. Working to remove clogged or congested pores for a clean and clear skin. We would recommend trialling this more natural approach to settling acne, before diving into medical treatments. We combine our micro’s with peels for more advanced exfoliation.

*Consider SKINDNA testing if you have a family history of more severe acne, there may be clues in your genes to help prevention.

Microdermabrasion for acne scars

The only way micros can help with acne scarring to prevent it!

Microdermabrasion is not an effective treatment for acne scars. It can contribute to polishing the surface appearance however it will not penetrate to the dermis and initiate repair. We treat acne scars with a range of more advanced medical treatments. Radiofrequency resurfacing with eMatrix, laser scar treatment, PRP therapy, skin needling or subcision are effective. Dermal filler is also used to improve the cosmetic appearance of acne scarring.

What is Microdermabrasion?

Microdermabrasion is a non-invasive procedure that exfoliates the outmost layer of skin cells to reveal healthier deeper layers. It works by two actions; the first is vacuum suction which draws the skin into contact with the second, a gentle ‘abrasive’ component.
The suction action helps to unclog pores and clear congestion, making it ideal to help settle pimples, acne and hormonal breakouts.

The gentle exfoliation of the outmost layer of skin cells improves the glow and appearance of your skin by revealing healthier deeper layers. It is a non-invasive, non-chemical exfoliation.

The original ‘abrasion’ was ‘dermabrasion’ this more aggressive treatment is not used in modern cosmetic medicine.

Alternatives To Microdermabrasion

1. For resurfacing and skin textural concerns, sublative radiofrequency such as etwo. Penetrates into the dermal layer providing better results. Sublative radiofrequency improves the texture and surface appearance of sun damage quicker. Generally 4 treatments are required though sometimes up to 6 may be needed.
2. Chemical Peels. Vitamin A peels is more appropriate for addressing pigmentation as well as skin texture concerns from sun damage. This peel takes 15 mins and generally provides full face flaking within the week. Generally 3 may be required.
3. Fractional lasers, skin needling, PRP are more effective for improving skin texture, tone and quality. These have more down time and cost more but provide superior results with fewer treatments.
