Microdermabrasion for men in Launceston, TAS

Micro Dermabrasion is a medical technique used for removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it supple and vibrant. Another name for microdermabrasion may be skin resurfacing. Microdermabrasion is a different to the procedure Dermabrasion which is performed by a qualified plastic surgeon in a sterile environment.

Skin resurfacing can reduce the effects of aging on our skin. Years of sun exposure and the aging process take their toll on the skin, creating lines, wrinkles, and changes in texture and colour. Not only is the face a likely victim of these changes, the neck, chest, cleavage, arms legs and hands may be affected as well.

Skin resurfacing is a treatment that improves wrinkles, skin texture and colour by removing the topmost layer of skin leaving it more supple and vibrant. Skin Resurfacing also stimulates the elastic tissue beneath the surface of the skin resulting in a healthier and firmer appearance.
Skin resurfacing treatments are normally administered by a trained clinician, nurse, aesthetician or physician. A wonderful alternative or compliment to chemical peels, the Diamond Tone Skin Resurfacing treatment is non-invasive, pain free and requires no down time after treatment.

The Diamond Tone Wand removes this layer of skin by gently abrading the skin with natural diamond chips while at the same time vacuuming the dead skin cells away in a sterile and controlled manner. Removing this outer layer of skin leaves a smoother texture, stimulates and promotes new cellular growth.

Micro dermabrasion using a Diamond Tone Wand is similar to particle dermabrasion and chemical peel in its results but without the adverse effects of loose particles, irritation and skin reaction. Unlike other micro dermabraders, the NewApeel system uses no loose crystals or other abrasives to contaminate you or the environment.

Micro dermabrasion is a wonderful alternative to laser or chemical peels because it is non-invasive, non-surgical and requires no down time after treatment. Normal activities may be resumed immediately after treatment and your skin is free of redness, irritation and particle contamination. Clients experience softer, smoother and cleaner skin after the first treatment.

The length of the treatment and number of treatments vary depending on skin type and condition. Results are gradual but highly effective. Most people experience softer, smoother skin after their first treatment. Treatment series vary from four to ten sessions depending on the condition being treated and the type of skin.

What is treatment like?
Micro dermabrasion treatments using the NewApeel system are relatively painless yet effective. The degree of effectiveness is controlled by a widely adjustable vacuum in conjunction with the varying coarseness of the four wands. Our professional staff are trained to evaluate the effectiveness of the treatment while at the same time ensuring your comfort.

Because exfoliation occurs only as the wand is drawn across the skin and there are no crystals being blasted against the skin, the NewApeel system is regarded as more gentle than other systems even at its highest settings.
