Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion is recommended as one of the best salon facials for fine lines and wrinkles, in a guide to looking 10 years younger in 10 days.
What is Crystal clear microdermabrasion?
Crystal Clear Microdermabrasion takes years off your complexion by gently exfoliating the outer layers of skin. Because its a safe and controlled method of skin resurfacing, the treatment can be used to solve a wide range of skin concerns on both the face and body.
Microdermabrasion provides immediate and visible results for:
ageing skin,
lines and wrinkles,
open pores,
blackheads,
pigmentation,
blemish scars,
acne scars,
stretch marks and so much more.
Youll see the difference after just one treatment; however for more problematic skin a course of treatments may be required.
With regular treatments, the skin increases its collagen and elastin formation, giving you a naturally firmer and rejuvenated appearance. Building on this, the gentle vacuum action gives the facial muscles a mini workout each time, providing an immediate lifting effect and an on-going improvement in tone.
What are the benefits of this treatment?
Crystal Clear Skin System is the perfect salon treatment as it delivers instant, visible, results. It is suitable for all skin colours and all skin types and can be used to treat a wide range of skin problems on the face. Salon applications include:
A complete perfect facial
Perfect for aging skin as it visibly reduces fine lines and wrinkles
Excellent results on acne scaring
Pigmentation
Sun damaged skin
What is involved?
The Crystal Clear handset is placed on to the skin and a microscopic flow of crystals is directed onto the surface of the skin. The speed of the crystals, together with their abrasive nature, gently removes the epidermal cells layer by layer. Used crystals and dead skin cells are drawn away through the vacuum action.
Used crystals and dead skin cells are drawn away through the vacuum action, allowing for the controlled exfoliation of the Stratum Corneum.
The gentle vacuum action also achieves an immediate lifting effect on tired muscles and stimulates the blood supply to the skin’s surface to help promote new collagen and elastin formation.
Specific attention is given to any areas of concern such as open pores, fine lines & wrinkles, blemished skin or acne scaring, resulting in dramatically rejuvenated skin.
What happens when I come for treatment?
First of all, we discuss your skin concerns and devise a treatment plan to suit your individual needs. We then go through come or all of the following stages, depending on the treatment you have chosen.
We thoroughly cleanse the skin with Crystal Clear soothing Cleansing Gel to remove any deep-seated impurities. We rinse with warm water and dry the skin
thoroughly ready for the Crystal clear Microdermabrasion.
If you have booked the crystal clear luxury booster facial then, once the Microdermabrasion and lifting part of the treatment is complete, we apply a crystal clear mini mask lift and leave to set, to achieve maximum hydration and firming benefits.

Telangiectasias- Broken capillaries can be worked around.
Rosacea & active acne- Suggest not having the treatment as the bacteria could spread around the face.
