Microdermabrasion & Dermaplaning
CACI Microdermabrasion
As we age, the automatic process of exfoliation and cell renewal slows down. Sometimes the body needs a little help. Microdermabrasion is a cosmetic procedure in which the stratum corneum (dead outermost surface of the skin) is partially or completely removed by light abrasion. The removal of the dead skin cells reveals the softer more youthful looking skin cells underneath. The superficial abrasion of the skin also triggers the body’s own natural repair mechanism which triggers the production of new collagen and releases glycoaminoglycans in order to rehydrate and replenish the recently abraded area. This has a remarkable softening action on surface lines and wrinkles.
The procedure is not very painful and requires no anesthetic. Microdermabrasion can be used medically for scar removal when the scar is raised above the surrounding skin, but is less effective with sunken scars. Microdermabrasion can also be used to treat sun-damaged skin and to improve acne but must be repeated periodically to be effective.
Orbital Microdermabarsion uses a hand piece that rotates at different speeds on an elliptical axis. Instead of using exfoliating crystals, orbital abrasion utilizes a selection of disposable, abrasive treatment tips coated with a layer of silicon carbide to either superficially or deeply exfoliate the stratum corneum. The orbital rotation of the abrasive treatment tip performs a progressive and controlled skin exfoliation and polishes and massage the skin at the same time. The speed of rotation, the abrasiveness of the treatment tip selected and the speed at which the hand piece is moved across the skin surface determines the depth of abrasion. This Crystal free treatment uses controlled orbital microdermabrasion to exfoliate and deeply cleanse the skin, combined with LED light therapy for tissue repair and healing. The controlled removal of skin cells reveals more youthful looking skin and has a remarkable softening action on the surface lines and wrinkles. Microdermabrasion with light therapy can also be used for treating sun damaged skin and acne scarring.

Skin Base Crystal Microdermabrasion Facials
A wand delivering a fine jet of abrasive crystals is passed over the skin. Dead skin particles abrade away and a vacuum action removes the debris. This dual action both resurfaces the skin and stimulates the blood flow, encouraging the skin to rejuvenate itself and produce collagen and elastin. With each subsequent SkinBase™ treatments, the intensity of the facial microdermabrasion can be increased – reaching to deeper layers and successfully removing acne scarring, lifting pigmentation and smoothing fine lines and wrinkles.

Dermaplaning
One Treatment for £50.00
What is a Dermaplane Facial?
This facial is an exfoliation that uses a scalpel to very gently lift off the upper layers of dead skin to reveal the beautiful, smoother complexion.
The dermaplane facial removes dead skin and facial hair and the results depend on several factors. The dryness of the skin and the sharpness of the blade will determine the best results. The better results come with a less aggressive surface exfoliation.
Because the face is so smooth and without the “peach fuzz”, products will penetrate better and makeup goes on simply beautifully. Dermaplaning is recommended on a regular 3-4 week basis.
What Kind of Skin is Good For A Dermaplane Facial?
This type of facial is fabulous for all skin types and conditions except cystic acne. Some examples of skin types and conditions that can benefit from this skin treatment include:
- Dry Skin
- Dehydrated Skin
- Rosacea Skin
- Sensitive Skin
- Oily Skin
- Pigmentation
- Mild Acne (works extremely well with acne, because of the removal of hair & oil)
What are the Benefits of a Dermaplane Facial?
Even Skin Tone and Texture.
This facial helps to even out your complexion. In some cases, the surface discoloration and pigmentation can be removed. The outcome of this is dependent on how deep the pigmentation goes below the surface of the skin. The glow and radiant skin from this facial shows after one treatment.
Hair Removal.
Say goodbye to peach fuzz and facial hair. Instead of waxing, which can sometimes irritate hair follicles and cause breakouts, try dermaplaning for hair removal. The hair will not regrow darker or thicker. The smooth skin helps makeup go on like a professional.
Softens Fine Lines.
Consistent dermaplane facial treatments can reduce the fine lines. The actual skin that is damaged by creating a wrinkle is removed during the treatment. Then the new skin is treated with vitamins and peptides to nourish the new skin.
No Down Time.
You leave the spa looking fabulous. It’s necessary to use sunscreen and hydrate with serums, but your skin is runway and gala ready.
Results Last.
Because you are consistently removing dead skin cells, the results of one dermaplane facial can last up to 3 months. For best results, having a treatment every 3-4 weeks is recommended, especially for dryor mild acne.
