Sapphire microdermabrasion is the system of pushing specially refined crystals at high velocity onto the surface of the skin to exfoliate dead skin cells and promote the generation of new skin cells, thereby creating a skin surface which is clear, youthful and glowing.

The Sapphire Microdermabrasion unit uses a vacuum suction nozzle performing a dual role: to suction the skin and promote lymphatic drainage and to remove excess crystals and abraded skin cells.

This procedure can be used to treat a number of skin conditions and complaints, and results can be seen following just one treatment. As further treatments are undertaken, results become even clearer to see and feel.

Microdermabrasion as a standalone treatment provides excellent results for the following conditions:

Common Indications for use:

Rejuvenation of skin health
Brightens dull skin
Enlivens stressed skin
Smoothes and restores the skins texture
Restores & revives mature skin
Hyperpigmentation reduction (age spots)
Fine lines and wrinkles
Deep facial cleansing
Refines and reduces scar tissue
Male skin treatment
Enlarged and open pores

Since the treatment is perfectly tolerable, no form of anaesthesia is necessary. The client will notice a regular improvement of the treated area during the course of Sapphire microdermabrasion treatments.

Depending on the indications and the wishes of the client, the number of Sapphire microdermabrasion treatments may vary from 1 to 30. This extremely flexible method is perfectly adaptable to any lifestyle while guaranteeing excellent results. Clients may interrupt the treatment program when they are satisfied with the results.

Following a micro-dermabrasion treatment, certain symptoms may appear, the intensity of which depends on the treatment intensity. The practitioner must take into account these potential reactions and provide adequate information, namely:

Redness and light oedema may occur in the first 24 hours or longer depending upon the depth of treatment
Saunas, physical effort, heat and alcohol will contribute in increasing the intensity of these initial symptoms, so should be avoided for 24/48 hours
Peeling of the epidermis may occur. This is a positive reaction which indicates the treatment is effective in triggering cellular renewal
Avoid highly perfumed products
Use only the products advised by your practitioner
The use of active products that promote cellular renewal is strongly recommended
The use of a total sunblock is mandatory SPF 30 or above
Avoid tanning salons, sun exposure and radiation for 15 days after treatment, or for the entire course of treatment.
The client should avoid wearing make up for the first 24 hours
The client should not use ‘dirty’ moisturisers i.e. pots of cream into which they have put their fingers. They should purchase a new product and use a spatula for the duration of their microdermabrasion treatment
Moisturiser should be liberally applied as directed by the practitioner.
