Corundum microdermabrasion

Corundum microdermabrasion Croydon

Corundum microdermabrasion is highly effective in restoration and rejuvenation of skin. If performed before other treatments, it visibly improves their effect. What is more, it stimulates the natural growth of cells, increasing the amount of collagen and elastin in the dermis.

How is the corundum microdermabrasion in Croydon performed?

Corundum microdermabrasion is a modern method of deep skin peeling with the use of abrasive material – aluminium oxide – also known as corundum. Aluminium oxide is one of the hardest abrasive materials used in cosmetology after diamond, but at the same time it is also among the gentlest ones. It is neutral to the skin. Crystals of high velocity strike the surface of the skin, cleansing dead cells and debris. With the removal of the upper layers of the epidermis, new, nutritious cells multiply. They replace the damaged skin, leading to its renewal.

What are the post-treatment recommendations?

Straight after the corundum microdermabrasion in Croydon, we recommend the patient to use revitalising, regenerating and hydrating creams because their absorption will be highly improved. For a couple of days after the treatment, the treated area will be more sensitive, therefore it is recommended not to take hot baths, use swimming pool, sauna or massage. To avoid sun induced brown discoloration of the skin, it should be protected with a sunscreen with at least SPF 30 every morning before going outdoors for the next 4 weeks.

How often should the treatment be performed?

The frequency of treatment of corundum microdermabrasion in Croydon depends on the skin condition and is determined during the consultation with our beautician. Generally, it is recommended to undergo the treatment in series of 1 to 8 repetitions, taking breaks of 7 to 21 days between each repetition. To maintain the effect, 1 to 3 treatments are advised every three months.
