Targeted Microdermabrasion in Plymouth, by Radiant Skincare & Beauty to remove dead skin cells.
Local, Professional Microdermabrasion Treatments
Microdermabrasion is a targeted treatment using a professional device. It consists of a buffering disk with oxidised crystals, combined with gentle suction to remove the build-up of dry, unwanted dead skin cells. This safe, minimally invasive treatment can also reduce fine lines, wrinkles, acne scarring, hyperpigmentation, and uneven skin tones. This type of skin rejuvenation can treat light scarring, discolouration, sun damage, stretch marks and is safe for all skin types. You will begin to see changes in your skin immediately after the first treatment. I have two types of Microdermabrasion packages, the Freshen up package and the more luxurious Elite Microdermabrasion package.
The Freshen Up Microdermabrasion includes skin analysis, treatment, hydrating face mask, serum, moisturiser and SPF. The Elite Microdermabrasion incorporates the ‘Freshen Up’ with an additional full facial massage with essential oils and an eye massage with soothing gel.
