At Nova we select from two advanced microdermabrasion techniques, depending on your skin type, requirements and results. Crystal Microdermabrasion uses a controlled stream of non-allergenic crystals to gently exfoliate and remove dead skin cells and outer layers, ideal for refreshing skin, and stimulating cell renewal. Diamond Microdermabrasion is a medical dermabrasion using diamond tipped wand and suction to work off congestion and thicker layers of dead skin. The diamond wand can be worked into lines and wrinkles to smooth the surface and efficiently lift dry and dull skin.

Microdermabrasion is a comfortable procedure with a slightly rough but not unpleasant feel. The treatment is always expertly combined with our cosmeceutical skin care ranges for full cleanse and rehydration of the skin, making the overall experience one of an advanced therapeutic facial.

Microdermabrasion is a relatively gentle treatment and requires no real preparation other than the thorough cleansing of the skin, which is performed during treatment. Following treatment our aestheticians recommend keeping skin clean and make up free for the rest of the day, and continued use of a broad spectrum SPF to protect against UV damage. Microdermabrasion has minimal downtime, although skin may look a little pink after treatment, most people start to notice the beneficial effects of microdermabrasion soon after.
