Microdermabrasion

Microdermabrasion is a non-surgical way of removing the dead and damaged skin by vacuuming across a jet of fine crystals through a sterilised, sealed tubing system. Treatment can be performed on the face, neck, chest, hands, back, elbows, feet - just anywhere. It can be used alone or in combination with other treatments. It is a new science in skin care, the ultimate advancement in skin regeneration.

The system is safe, comfortable, and has no adverse effects and little contraindications. Best of all there is no down time. You can resume regular activities immediately.

The Ultrapeel-Transderm system offers three levels of Dermabrasion:
