My micro dermabrasion ~ Review

Taken from the website of where I got my treatments done from, they describe micro dermabrasion as the following;

Micro dermabrasion is a system of intense exfoliation and resurfacing using ultra fine crystals rejuvenating the skin.

The crystals work as a gentle abrasive on the skin to remove dead skin cells layer by layer. The irregular shape of the crystals work on hard to reach areas without damaging the skin

The vacuum action of the machine stimulates the circulation and promotes increased blood flow to the area. The production of collagen and elastin is stimulated resulting in firmer more youthful looking skin.

I'm all set to get married very soon and I've had 7 treatments in total. I decided to get it done mainly because I had some acne scarring from where my skin has been suffering over the years. My skin has improved naturally over the years and I have gotten much better at maintaining it too.  There's a few things I'd like to rave about;

1. The treatments have most definitely reduced the appearance of the scars on my face. After the first treatment, I noticed almost an immediate difference.

2. I have quite sensitive skin and even with my 'brown' skin tone, I still go red very quickly. The micro dermabrasion did not in any way make me 'break out' or make my skin suffer. There was just initial redness after each treatment which lessened overnight. (I tended to get my treatments done in the evening when I had finished work.)

3. IT DOES NOT HURT. Ha. I had imagined it to have hurt a little, but nope siree. 

Keido Hair and Beauty in Stoke on Trent have been fantastic and if you're from the area I would strongly recommend them. Such a lovely staff and I can't thank them enough.

My skin feels firmer, brighter and clearer. If I'd had more time in the run up to my wedding, I would have definitely continued the treatments for longer. If you do get micro derma done, I would suggest you take their advice and leave 2 weeks between treatments. Really take the time to let your skin rest and for you to notice whether it is making a specific difference to YOUR skin. Remember everyone's skin is different. Tone lots and moisturise with a good quality moisturiser.

Thank you, Keido! Link to Keido Website :)
